        Verdict

        KRAZY PAVING has held his form well since scoring at Lingfield in January and has gone close in both subsequent outings. He gets the nod with winning partner Luke Morris back on board. Malaysian Boleh lnaded a double at this time last year and has tumbled down the weights since while Firesnake keeps threatening a return to winning ways without actually doing so. Deeds Not Words, Secret Asset and Grecian Divine are others on the slide and could bounce back at any time.
