Internationaldebut has been knocking on the door of late but he has had lots of chances and we will nominate Crataegus to get the better of Holly Cleugh. Crataegus ran well on his debut and the form has since been franked. He is open to further progress and the yard are in decent form so he looks to have solid claims. Internationaldebut has had a few chances now and he wasn't beaten far last time here but this slight drop in trip is not sure to suit and he has looked far from straightforward. Holly Cleugh got outpaced last time so she should benefit from this return to 6f. Baby Rock is an interesting newcomer and Chris Wall's runner is certainly worth a look in the market, but for the winner we will stick with Crataegus.
