Verdict
SLADE is comfortably the form pick here and should lose his maiden tag. Andrew Heffernan's charge didn't run as a juvenile but has produced three fine efforts since his debut in March and came up against a useful opponent in Rockymountainhigh last time. That winner is trained by David Wachman who saddles the main danger here in Crazyforlovingyou, who was having his first start since September when a close fifth behind Blaze Brightly at Listowel a month ago. The Silver Crown hasn't run badly in handicaps and is by no means out of this though he's thoroughly exposed after a dozen runs.
