Verdict

Cut Across carries a penalty for last week's narrow margin victory at Wolverhampton and Al Aqabah has been raised a harsh 7lb for landing a claimer over C&D a fortnight ago. Sandbetweenourtoes also faces tougher opposition after scoring in plating company last time and Atlantis Crossing is upped in class on the back of a win at Wolverhampton. Fever Few is one of the less exposed contestants and may figure but a punt is taken on CROWN CHOICE, who posted his best effort of the year at Wolverhampton last time having tumbled down the weights.
