In depth
Verdict
Fink Hill carries a penalty for last week's victory at Southwell, the first time he'd run over the minimum trip. Krystallite, who gained a comfortable track and trip victory in June, bounced back to form when caught right on the line by SECRET POTION here last month and she's won from a higher mark in the past. The winner was having only his second all-weather start that day and though he's since run poorly at Nottingham he looks to have every chance of confirming the form and taking this. The last time Avon Green won it was from 1lb higher here in February but Red Invader's six all-weather victories have been on Polytrack and Fibresand. Swendab will be having his 135th start and has won 17 times including from a higher mark here last December.
