Verdict
TIGER CRUSADE scored in this grade earlier this month and faced with another 0-85 handicap here, he looks to have an excellent chance of following up that victory. Richard Kingscote is 1-1 on C&D winner Legal Reform, so he should run well along with Diamondonthehill who looks interesting dropped back to 7f having travelled well over an extended mile last time.
