In depth
Verdict
Some prolific pointers here and it could pay to side with Cross River to take the finale. His form between the flags is exemplary and while his Leicester run was full of errors, he is much better than that bare form and should make amends for backers here. Stormy Sunrise recently landed a monster gamble between the flags and is at least in the best of form at the present. Buddy Girie has established a consistent level of form although will need others to make errors in order to hold a winning chance. Cross River gets the nod.
