Crimson Road^p1,t¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 10-2| J: Joe Leavy| T: S Corbett| OR: 68

22/1

Fairly useful dual winner for the Crisford stable. Yet to threaten for new stable but is a potential class act if first-time cheekpieces have a reviving effect. Worth a look in the betting.

6/1

Course winner over 7f in May but needs to shrug off a laboured effort at Catterick (7f, good to firm) since. Back up in trip.

Forecasts

Bellasio (6/4), Eeetee (11/4), Optimatum (7/2), Eighteen Fourteen (6/1), Shaladar (13/2), Mile By Mile (15/2), Crimson Road (22/1), Flamborough Head (33/1), Too Much (40/1)

Grant Tuer has his team in good nick and BELLASIO gets the nod on the back of his win and second at Carlisle in recent weeks. Charlie Johnston's Leicester scorer Optimatum rates an obvious danger, while fellow 3-y-o Mile By Mile was an improved second when stepped up to 1m at Carlisle a fortnight ago.
