Verdict
CROSSE FIRE looks the safest proposition on recent form. He scored over course and distance before beaten a length here last week when finishing in front of both Kommander Kirkup and Angel Palanas. The latter was well ahead of Amazing Grazing when winning over track and trip earlier in the year while Classic Pursuit ran well behind the in-form Captain Lars over 5f here a week ago. Treaty Of Rome is usually in the mix without winning but Siege Of Boston could go well as he slips further down the weights.
