Victorious five times in a 47 race career most recently off a 4lb lower mark over an extended 7f at Chester (soft) in June last year. Couple of decent efforts of late but likely others are better handicapped here.

Forecasts

Lady In Question (2/1), Penny Pot Lane (11/4), Reinforced (4/1), Major Crispies (4/1), Bush Beauty (15/2), Mr Cool Cash (8/1), Let's Twist (17/2), Rock Warbler (12/1), Fortuities (18/1), Destination Aim (20/1), Circuitous (25/1), Mr Conundrum (66/1)

MAJOR CRISPIES can gain reward for some good placed efforts this season by registering his fourth career victory by taking this competitive 7f handicap. The selection races off the same mark as when third over shorter last time out and can get the better of Lady In Question who has finished runner-up the last twice and can fill the same position once more. Penny Pot Lane shapes as if this step up to 7f will suit and she can claim third on her first attempt at it.
