Oh Crick probably isn't the force of old and is better over 2m but is still capable in this grade. Good Order could figure if fully wound-up but Glens Boy will probably need this and this grade looks too tough for Majorca King and Midnight Macarena. Chestertern and Tafika are probably also worth opposing but THE CHAZER showed a bit more at Chepstow last time and, dropped a couple of pounds since, can open his account for the season here.
