Verdict
Mark Tompkins and Mick Channon both send raiders north to contest this modest seller and preference is for the latter's CROWN RIDGE. Consistent efforts in low grade handicap company suggest he'll be highly competitive dropped into this lowly grade for the first time. Chilledtothebone and Izzet finished second and third behind Orchid Street in a Leicester seller last time and there should be little between them on the same terms, although the latter might possibly be better suited by the additional furlong on this stiff track. Sky Diamond has a chance if transferring the best of his winter all-weather form to turf.
