CROESO CYMRAEG was stopped in his tracks when just beginning his challenge in Carlisle’s Cumberland Plate last month. He has his quirks but seems in good order at present and can gain compensation if Josh Bryan can keep the lid on making his way to the start for this. Lady Reset is a very tough mare who has her ground again and she won’t be far away while Pride Of Nepal just came up short in his hat-trick bid at Windsor, though has been raised a further 3lb since and probably has a bit to find with Way Of Life on Newbury running in May. Genesius is best watched returning from a break.
