KING CRIMSON won over course and distance last month and was narrowly beaten at Ripon off today’s mark on his latest start. He has the beating of Big Lachie on that form and gets the vote. Jaganory finished behind the selection here earlier while Dreamboat Annie and Aquadabra were both well beaten at the track last time so Dandilion may prove a bigger threat on her reappearance having won three times last year.
