CRIMSON ROAD came good on his fourth outing for this yard over C&D last month and remains well treated on old form. Olly Murphy has an excellent record with handicap debutants so Dancingondiamonds may emerge as the biggest threat.

Verdict
Enjoyed a purple patch back on turf this year, completing a 4-timer when coming from last at Ripon in June. Found his run of good form coming to an abrupt halt when down the field at Epsom next time. Type to bounce back but looks high enough in the weights now in any case.

Verdict
Hasn't offered much since debut fifth at Killarney (1m) last spring. Current yard has been a bit quiet of late, though they do have an excellent record with handicap debutants.

Finished well held first 2 starts (for George Boughey on debut) but has shown much more of late, including when third of 6 upped to this trip at Sandown 16 days ago.

Confirmed previous promise when exploiting his tumbling mark on fourth start for this yard over C&D 16 days ago. Remains well treated up 3 lb so obvious claims.

Verdict
Consistent performer on the all-weather during the winter. Has failed to make an impact last 4 starts but gets further help from the handicapper (has now dipped below last winning mark).

Veteran who bounced back to form when second at Brighton in June. However, finished lame next time and ran poorly there on Wednesday.
