In depth
Verdict
Football Crazy is very much on the upgrade and makes a quick reappearance having completed a four-timer in pleasing fashion at Sandown last week. Neville Callaghan's charge will be suited by both ground and trip and will make a bold bid under a 6lb penalty. Distinction is one of the least exposed in the line up and is therefore open to further improvement on his handicap debut having narrowly landed a maiden over C&D last time. Bonecrusher has been done no favours from the handicapper after an easy win at Salisbury in May but will appreciate the return to this trip while Dimple Chad may have been unsuited by the fast ground when disappointing at Ascot and should not be underestimated on this more suitable surface.
