A winner at Brighton last month, King Crimson never figured upped in class off today’s higher mark at Nottingham last time. Tilsworth Rose scored over track and trip before struggling over 6f here while George Dryden hinted at a return to form with a second at Bath last week. But HANS SOLO BERGER (NAP) was beaten less than a length in a higher grade sprint at Sandown last time and Chris Wall’s charge looks the one to beat in this company on that form. Dr Doro can figure dropping back down to the minimum trip for this and looks best of the rest.
