The next race is a small field claimer and CRAICATTACK should again go in ahead of Ginger Grey and Novay Essjay. The selection was quite impressive when winning at Kempton on his latest start dictating proceedings from the get go and beating a decent horse. He steps back up to seven furlongs today but he has won over the trip before so it is not a big concern. More of a concern is the presence of Novay Essjay who also likes to front run. Hayley Turner's mount is dropping down in trip today which should suit along with the slight drop in class. The biggest danger to the selection may be Ginger Grey who was beaten by a well treated rival on his last start. This slight drop in class will also help but we will still side with Craicattack.
