ECONOMIC CRISIS has been a flag-bearer for Alan Berry since his return to the training ranks and gained his second victory for the yard when just holding Jacob's Pillow at Musselburgh. Lewis Edmunds, who rode him to his earlier victory on that track, is back on board and his 3lb claim can make the difference. Chickenfortea came here last month and made all under Jason Hart. Eric Alston's grey is 4lb higher but providing the ground gets no softer he has to be on the short-list. Turanga Leela has been racing in much better company since scoring at Chester in May and will appreciate the drop in grade while eight-times winner Khelman is just 1lb higher than when scoring at this level at Ayr in July.
