Casina di Notte may do better back on the all-weather having missed the break at Nottingham earlier this month. Althaaqib is the chief reason for Jim Crowley’s presence here this evening. He made all last time at Chelmsford last time and a 4lb rise seem more than fair, though an outside draw could pose a few problems. REAL ESTATE looks a big danger given he’s run well in defeat since scoring over course and distance last month. He has another 4lb rise to contend with but should give a good account. Inaam has switched stables but is starting to look well treated and Pheidippides has been knocking on the door. Zoffalee could also figure but Casement is hard to predict.
