        Verdict

        Placed in two of his three starts, Grizzle has to come into the reckoning on his first outing over 7f, while Twelve Strings is another who may improve for the longer trip. Samuel Pickwick went close at Kempton last time and is sure to be a popular choice, but VAN ROONEY is of greater interest. His close-up third at Dundalk to Ballydoyle's East Meets West looks the best form on offer and Tommy Stack's colt can get off the mark here. Solar View makes a quick reappearance after looking all at sea on his debut and will no doubt finish closer today.
