Verdict
HOLYFIELD WARRIOR was only beaten a length when second over a mile here last time. He tried making all on that occasion and may be able to go one better over this shorter trip if similar tactics are employed. A Pocketful Of Rye and Norcroft have a bit to find with the selection on latest running, but Crystallize bounced back to form when runner-up over C&D just over a week ago and another bold bid is expected. Hi Spec and Royal Acclamation are others to consider in what looks an open contest.
