    Verdict

    Baizically is sure to be popular with punters here but we will take him on with GRANDAD BILL who is preferred to Forrest Flyer. The selection is a game and consistent sort and he looks to be on a fair mark at present. He went close last time out at York and he can repeat his course and distance success here back in October. Baizically should give him the most to think about as he is on the hat-trick mission today, but he was all-out to beat Dolly Penrose last time here and he is not one to be lumping on at short odds. Forrest Flyer was disappointing at Doncaster last time but this drop in trip should suit and he would have definite claims on the pick of his form. It will be a surprise if either Jane of Arc or Silent Lucidity are good enough, and we are happy to return to Grandad Bill to land the prize.
