King Crimson has won twice this year already but is upped a further 4lb after winning at Brighton. He beat Top Boy earlier and the latter won at Chelmsford recently while Princess Tansy signed off last year with victory at Bath. Majestic Hero and Diamond Lady were both placed on their latest starts and Oh So Sassy has a shout on last season’s placed efforts at Ascot but SILVER BID has had tough tasks conceding plenty of weight to three-year-olds in maiden company recently. He gets a speculative vote with an apprentice taking 5lb off his back today as he goes handicapping for the first time.
