Verdict

CROSSLEY TENDER has been raised 5lb for winning at Plumpton recently. But should still go close again given he remains unexposed and today’s opposition is not the strongest. Pink Gin scored over course and distance at the start of the year but never figured in a couple of subsequent starts while Packettotherafters has also struggled since winning at Bangor in April. River Of Intrigue is not badly weighted on his win here in April and makes most appeal of the rest back on quicker ground today.
