Verdict
A bit of a damp squib to end proceedings. In The Crowd probably has the best overall form but hasn't won for more than two years. Carnaross was pulled up at Ludlow when last seen but is eased in grade here along with I Am Colin and Native Explorer. ALEZANNA hasn't pulled up any trees in three runs over hurdles so far but she gets in here on a low very mark and Michael Heard is good value for his 6lb claim. David Pipe's mare is taken to find the necessary improvement to open her account.
