Verdict
Crush And Run was prominent throughout in a strongly-run race at Nottingham last month. That was his Turf debut and he should cope with a 4lb rise so goes on the shortlist. Catch Cunningham was only headed in the final strides at Thirsk and holds Red Warning on that run but Kevin Ryan has also entered PEGGY SIOUX. She didn’t make her debut until September last year when winning at Hamilton. She was badly hampered on her reappearance in a Listed race at Bath so did well to finish sixth and is 12lb better off with runner-up Hellomydarlin. A winner at Nottingham on her final start last season, Meredif can’t be ignored with Swayze another to consider.
