Class will so often prevail in these sort of races, and Stuart Crawford looks to have found the ideal race for FINE RIGHTLY to supplement two previous wins in Grade 3 company and improve his strike rate over fences to 50% (6 from 12). This contest is on a totally different level to his last race in the Lexus, with perhaps either Bernardelli or De Vous A Moi the main dangers. 1. Fine Rightly 2. Bernardelli 3. De Vous A Moi
