Verdict

Crocodile Bay is taken to again make all and score ahead of Penny Whisper, Aboyne and Countrywide Belle. Crocodile Bay put his experience to good use when dominating from start to finish at Windsor recently, and as he had obviously improved a lot from his all-weather debut just nine days earlier, hopes are high that he can step up another gear today. Jamie Osborne's colt should have too much speed for Penny Whisper who also made all on her debut at Pontefract. Her form does not look quite as good as that of the selection's though. Aboyne showed a good attitude when opening his account at the first time of asking at Yarmouth and will certainly handle the ground so is the other main player. Countrywide Belle has more to do than when making all at Southwell, and Swift Fury will benefit from the run. Crocodile Bay has the best form on offer and can score again.
