Verdict
CRIMSON KING (NAP) won easily over 1m4f here a fortnight ago with Further Measure back in third and also finished in front of Chipiron when runner-up over today’s trip earlier. Mick Appleby’s charge looks worth sticking with. Winklevi is fitted with headgear having gone close the last twice including a head defeat over course and distance. He looks the main threat given Liberated Lad had every chance at Kempton yesterday while Three Platoon is upped in trip and preferred to Celestial Force.
