      Verdict

      Cracking Speed is still seeking a first victory but drops another 2lb since fourth at Salisbury and this won’t take much winning, though he does now have a bit to find with Under Curfew. BARRITUS is a lightly-raced four-year-old who was second over this trip at Lingfield in January. He wasn’t beaten far when making his handicap debut over 7f here last month and this looks a good opportunity to get off the mark as it’s difficult to make a case for Soaring Spirits and Noble Deed.
