HENRY CROFT'S form looks a level above anything the others have done to date and the booking of Luke Morris suggests the yard mean business. He should be able to get his first win after finishing in second place last three starts. After Toniight is an interesting runner and should be fit from a recent spin over hurdles. Summer Collection's form of her third place over C&D last time out received a boost with winner Go George Go going in again here last week. She may still be improving and could give Henry Croft most to worry about. 1. Henry Croft 2. Summer Collection 3. After Toniight
