Crannaghmore Boy won easily over a similar trip at Newton Abbot last week and will be fancied to defy his penalty. But VON GALEN shaped nicely at Ffos Las on the same day after getting his second wind. The veteran may have just needed that and, getting 18lb from the top weight, could represent more value. Cruz On Ted should strip fitter for his comeback here two weeks ago and this longer trip will also help.
