Croquembouche has a good strike rate here and Rossa Ryan’s claim will aid his cause this evening. Essenaitch was only beaten a short-head over 1m2f here two weeks ago and Fleeting Visit is back in the right grade. Priors Brook would have claims if forgiven a below-par run at Kempton in April while Opposition is better than he showed when favourite at Newmarket last month. WEST DRIVE missed the break on his reappearance at Lingfield but was keeping on in the closing stages and can show the benefit of that outing today.
