MR CRIPPS has not raced since April but he was fourth at Newbury behind three subsequent winners including Group 3 victor Mr Singh. Ralph Beckett looks to have found him a good opportunity to open his account and he can make a winning return to action. None of today's opposition have looked like winning so far with Etibaar's six length defeat at Haydock his best effort to date while Zac Truth looks best of the rest on his fifth in France earlier in the year.
