Verdict
Scott Dixon’s yard has a good record in this and today’s representative Crosse Fire won it in 2016 and finished in front of Pearl Acclaim here last week. Piazon won over track and trip in November before placing over 6f here a fortnight ago when MININGGOLD scored over course and distance at the same meeting. The latter beat third-placed Decision Maker easily enough and can go in again with Paula Muir’s claim reducing a 7lb rise in the weights. Fink Hill won over track and trip in November but has struggled subsequently.
