Verdict
Wiff Waff scored over a shorter trip at Bath before finishing runner-up over track and trip but CROCODILE POWER opened his account with a recent victory at Newcastle and John Quinn’s charge looks worth sticking with. Sam Bellamy won at Brighton in August and an apprentice’s allowance helps his cause while Posh Girl drops down in class and may figure in a weak contest.
