Verdict

Lots with chances but at the likely odds it could be worth siding with the handily-weighted CROOKS PEAK who has his first run for the in-form Dan Skelton yard back over hurdles after a wind op. In-form Nordic Combined is sure to make his presence felt along with the thriving Breffniboy and C&D winner Benny's Bridge.
