Haydock 16:09 - w/o Norcross Brow

oddschecker Verdict

Having made the most of a 5lb drop in the ratings when scoring at Leicester recently, Crafty Blue could have more to come in retained cheekpieces. Although a 4lb rise shouldn't prevent another good account, Beverley winner NORCROSS BROW could prove to be slightly better treated. Liam Wright effectively negates a rise in the handicap with his 5lb claim and this slight ease in distance shouldn't pose any issues. Fellow last-time-out winner Berlinetta and Sandown runner-up Galba add further spice to the race.

Prediction: 1st Norcross Brow, 2nd Crafty Blue, 3rd Berlinetta
