In depth

Verdict

CRAKEHALL LAD (NAP) scored over today's trip at Redcar in October and won over 1m4f here earlier this month. He can effectively race off a lower mark with Neil Farley's allowance taken into account and gets the vote. Teajaybe beat Adili over 2m here last year and the latter went on to score over track and trip but is 10lb higher for this while Shirls Son Sam was placed off today's mark over course and distance in December and could figure. Opera Buff makes his debut on the Fibresand having slipped 10lb down the weights last year and is one to note.
