In depth

Verdict

Quite a few have claims but the most persuasive are those of MAJOR CRISPIES who has gone close on recent starts since joining David O'Meara and was only nosed out of success in a desperate finish at Beverley last week. He travelled nicely through that race before laying down a determined challenge and will be competitive if not reappearing too quickly off topweight. He is actually on a really good mark at present in light of previous ratings. Whatsthemessage has returned to form the last three starts and makes appeal of a mark of 70 with conditions to suit and Fine Example should also be on the premises having gone very well on both outings at this venue. Hamster Jam has place claims.
