Verdict

Lake View Lad has only won one of his six starts over fences and that was over a longer trip. He was soon left behind in what was effectively a match over course and distance last time and looks too close in the weights to the progressive MARKOV. Ben Pauling’s charge is two from two over fences and won a shade cosily on both occasions. On the evidence so far, Crievehill is possibly better suited by a strongly-run race over 2m and A Vos Gardes looked beaten when falling at Newbury.
