In depth

Verdict

MAJOR CRISPIES won a claimer at Lingfield in April and only found the much higher rated Flowers On Venus too good at the same track last month. David O’Meara’s charge should go close again. There is little between Vincentti, Pearl Acclaim and Passing Star on these terms with all three dropping down in class while Take A Note has a shout at the weights but hasn’t raced since November.
