KODY RIDGE and Major Crispies are clear of the rest on these terms though the latter is best on the all-weather having won only once in 33 starts on Turf. But the former was placed in a tougher claimer than this at Redcar last time and Roger Fell’s charge should make a bold bid today. Bling King will be sharper for a recent outing at Carlisle and looks best of the rest considering Chiswick Bey has switched yards and plummeted down the weights since winning last year’s renewal.
