      Verdict

      While the trip is an unknown, CRIQ SUN has his sights lowered and may have been placed here on his second start for new connections had he not fallen two out. Master Tradesman was knocking on the door at this time last year but he’s barely raised a gallop this season. Fight Commander last ran over hurdles in 2014 and has a terrible strike-rate but Lakeside Pearl should have benefited from her run at Sedgefield. Cold Fusion is a modest plater.
