Crosse Fire^b⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: S Dixon| OR: 68| CD

15/2

4-time C&D winner. 9/2, creditable second of 6 in handicap at this C&D 6 days ago, clear of rest. Operating 12 lb below last winning mark and he's likely to get his head in front again before long.

Form: 802382

Forecasts

Ice Station Zebra (9/4), Shallow Hal (5/2), Nubough (5/1), Crosse Fire (15/2), Lucky Lucky Man (17/2), Zapper Cass (9/1), Zylan (18/1), Glengarry (40/1), Lua De Mel (100/1)

ICE STATION ZEBRA needs to prove her effectiveness on fibresand but she's been progressive in handicaps on turf this autumn and is worth chancing to resume winning ways. Recent C&D winner Shallow Hal is feared with a repeat. Crosse Fire and Nubough are also worth a second look.
