A cracking novice handicap. KILLER CROWN's last 2 performances represent really good form so he's taken to wrap up an excellent first season over fences with a win here. Belargus would be a popular winner of the race named in honour of his trainer's father and he certainly has a good shout based on the form of his course success in February. Farinet and Not That Fuisse are also much respected.
