Verdict
Crownthorpe is upped in trip after scoring at Wolverhampton with Master Of Combat behind and the latter has placed in both subsequent starts and CONTRAST was beaten less than a length over course and distance in December, with Freak Out back in third, so the Easterbys' charge is taken to go one better. Mafia Power disappointed last time while Qaasid’s earlier victory at Southwell came over a longer trip.
