Crownthorpe has won two of his four outings since joining Alan Brown’s yard while Prenup made a winning debut for a new trainer when scoring over 7f at Wolverhampton. SHARVARA missed the whole of last year but a recent second at Wolverhampton suggests he’ll be winning soon and this return to a mile will suit Archie Watson’s charge. One For The Frog also steps up in trip for his handicap debut and Monteria returns to action with a chance.
