        In depth

        Verdict

        CRAZY CHIC will need to improve after making a winning debut at Doncaster but has plenty of scope. He returned a ready winner on that occasion and is just preferred to Major Jack. The latter ran well for third in better company at Leicester last month but the likes of Light From Mars and Desert Strike usually come up short in this grade. Newbury winner Flying Bear is not without a chance and fellow three-year-old Gone With The Wind may have improved since last seen at the track back in April.
