Verdict
CROSSE FIRE (NAP) has recorded all five wins so far over course and distance. His latest success came at this time last year off a 15lb higher mark and Scott Dixon’s charge makes plenty of appeal having finished runner-up in a tougher sprint here a fortnight ago. Treaty Of Rome is upped a grade off a higher mark after scoring over track and trip but the remainder are all harder to fancy. Red Invader and Powerful Wind have won on Fibresand in the past but King Crimson continues to tumble down the weights without yet showing any signs of improvement.
