Verdict

Economic Crisis weakened quickly when last of five at Hamilton last Thursday and isn’t getting any younger. Primo's Comet is a regular here and won over track and trip in April, though that came between two very average efforts. THRILLA IN MANILA won as he liked at Hamilton earlier this month and, though raised 8lb, is preferred to last month’s Catterick winner Wade's Magic, who might have preferred an easier surface. True Hero is an all-weather specialist.
