Verdict

CROWSATEAPPLETART comes here at the top of his game over hurdles but also has a fencing win to his name this season and is fancied to bag a second victory off a reduced chasing mark. C&D winners Lilian Bland and Spinning Web appeal as the duo to chase home Michael Winters' 8-y-o in that order.
