This presents CROOKS PEAK with a good opportunity to exploit a drop in grade and, despite carrying top weight, the gelding can get back to winning ways after finding the hustle and bustle of the Cheltenham Festival pushed the race beyond his reach last time out. This a far easier assignment and, from a 1lb lower mark, the mount of Richard Johnson looks the safest option. Capitane also found his festival entry was a touch too far and is another who will appreciate the ease in grade, while Arcade Attraction is unexposed and could easily be the best of the rest from the foot of the handicap.
