With neither debutant appearing to be anything special it should pay to side with experience here and we'll take CRAZY CHRIS to land the prize from Nesayem and Benedicte. The last-named was given a quiet introduction at Newbury over this trip, and she should definitely benefit a fair bit for that. The Galileo filly should, of course get further in time, and she again races on fast ground, which will suit. However, we would have just liked to have seen a little more first time to get us interested in having a bet here. Nesayem has the profile of a filly whom David Simcock has struggled to find the right trip for thus far, and her pedigree suggests that a mile may be her optimum. Nonetheless she ran quite well in defeat at Ffos Las a couple of weeks ago and is respected. Triple Cee should be better for this drop back in trip but would probably want rain to be seen to best effect, and is likely to find a couple too good, and with Amrothe looking moderate we turn our attentions to Crazy Chris. Tom Dascombe's filly won a bumper under National Hunt rules before making a good fist of it over a mile on Lingfield's Polytrack last time. Pedigree suggests that she will get this trip and there looks sure to be more to come with her trainer renowned for improving them, so we will side with her.
