Crotchet was fancied to go close over track and trip last time and she did just that when beaten only a neck. She should make another bold and is preferred to Procedure, who sports the same colours, but EXCELLENT TIMES makes most appeal. The latter was also narrowly beaten in a Class 2 sprint at York last week and Tim Easterby’s filly is taken to go one better dropping down a couple of grades. Revived has failed to show any progress so far this year while Queen Of Kalahari will likely find life tough in this company.
