Commander Crouch has been racing in stronger company without making much headway but CHIC COLOMBINE has improved with experience and was always travelling like a winner at Newcastle. Dan Dee Prince ran very well on the latter track after a comfortable victory at Leicester from today's rival Doubletalk and The Bitter Moose did better at Epsom and can get involved in a race where nothing can be ruled out.
