In depth

Verdict

Nothing makes strong appeal but Aidan Coleman is an eyecatching booking for CRAZY, very lightly-raced over hurdles but arriving fit and well after a couple of respectable third placings on the Chelmsford all-weather last month. It's two and a half years since the mare jumped a hurdle in public but she's on an attractive mark and the opposition looks modest. Floral Spinner would have claims at her best, hence her position at the head of the weights, but she seems to find winning increasingly difficult and maybe Very Extravagant, Midnight Gem and Pink Tara can step up to the mark and get involved now handicapping.
