Verdict

Crackdeloust finished second off this mark at Wetherby on Tuesday and Fisher Green was given an enterprising ride to win a different race on the same card. However, that’s earned the latter a penalty and he is worse off at the weights than when behind Diamond State here earlier. The Navigator ran poorly when favourite here in November but was better at Newcastle after a break and wouldn’t be without a chance. RAYMOND only beat one home when on a hat-trick here on New Year’s Day but he’s been in good form on the all-weather recently and Peter Coleman’s claim is a huge plus. Dubai Days produced a career-best at Wetherby but has another 12lb to carry while all of Cedar Hill’s wins this season have come over fences at Kelso.
