      Verdict

      Final Choice is penalised for winning over track and trip a week ago and General Zoff only won a maiden handicap over 2m at Beverley last month. Strictly Art has been thereabouts over 1m6f recently and Twister is one to note for the Prescott yard stepping up from 1m2f but a chance is taken DAZZLING ROCK improves for the longer distance on only his second start handicapping with Silvestre De Sousa taking over the reins and he gets the vote.
