KING CRIMSON made much of the running when third to Majestic Hero at Chepstow. With the winner carrying a penalty here, Mick Channon's charge can take his revenge and hang on this time ahead of Secret Asset, who had subsequent Yarmouth scorer Little Voice back in third when winning at Sandown last month. Newton's Law is often slowly away and steps up a grade while Sandfrankskipsgo and Red Stripes will need to improve on recent form to figure.
