Trading is stepping up in trip after finishing third over 5f here on his reappearance and can figure, while Dotty Darroch was placed on her return to action at Musselburgh and should also go well. However, CROWN RIDGE was spotted making up lots of ground in the closing stages from his wide draw at Beverley a week ago and, dropped in class today, Mick Channon's charge looks capable of taking this. Bigalo's Laura B and Lough Corrib make most appeal of the remainder.
