Whenever LORD CREWE runs at this level he seems to win and though he's making his seasonal debut his yard is in excellent shape and he can make a successful return. Who Owns Me has won two novice handicaps in the style of a very progressive type though a 12lb rise for his latest success won't help and Romney Marsh is out of the handicap. Psi is better handicapped over fences and Tarvini appears to need quicker ground but Corso Palladio looked a useful prospect in 2010 and there were signs of a return to form at Newton Abbot last month. General Kutuzov won over fences when last seen in May and will no doubt returning to the bigger obstacles shortly.
