King Crimson is upped in class off an 8lb higher mark after scoring at Newcastle and MAJOR PUSEY makes more appeal. John Gallagher's colt was a close-up sixth in a Class 3 sprint at Goodwood last time when ahead of Majestic Hero and should make a bold bid in this company. Equally Fast has been thereabouts of late but raised 4lb in the weights for his latest second at Bath and Escalating may prove more favourably weighted after slipping further down the handicap. Rio Ronaldo won over 6f here earlier this year and is preferred to the returning La Cuesta.
