In depth
Verdict
Highland Acclaim is an infrequent winner and Grey Galleon has become disappointing but CRITICAL THINKING was a winner on his last visit to the track and has run up a consistent sequence lately, finishing ahead of Espresso Freddo and De Little Engine at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day. Wilson is interesting having got back to winning ways over course and distance a month ago – he’s been raised 4lb but 7f looks his trip. Bernie's Boy is possibly better over 6f nowadays but Evening Attire could figure if on a going day.
