Bold Cross has a leading chance in this company and just gets the nod over Admirals Way (if he turns out after being entered at Leicester yesterday) and Drawn Gold. A market move for Wrecking Crew would also be noteworthy, as he is lightly raced and, having proved his well being with a sound effort at Bath in August, he cannot be discounted. However, it is also worth bearing in mind that was the top weight's first start for two years and, after just 11 days off, he is a prime candidate to suffer from the 'bounce factor'. Drawn Gold is consistent and is likely to be suited by the drop back to a mile. However, heavy ground is an imponderable at this stage and his ability to handle the going has to be taken on trust. Admirals Way has scope to improve over this trip and, as he is being kept busy at the present time, it is safe to assume he is showing plenty of zest for racing. He will be a big threat if he turns out today. However, Bold Cross has slightly stronger claims on the best of his form and, as he has a proven liking for plenty of give underfoot, the mount of Paul Fitzimons is taken as the one to on this time around.
