CROESO CYMRAEG looks likely to be winning again soon judged on a couple of recent narrow-margin defeats, including one over course and distance - it could be the turn of James Evan’s charge today. Power Home failed in a bid for a hat-trick when only fourth at Wolverhampton back in April but Topology has the more recent form with a defeat of the re-opposing By Rail over 1m3f here last time. Mullarkey went close at Epsom in August and is another to consider while Beer With The Boys and Miss M were both placed at Bath on their respective latest starts.
