Verdict

A chance is taken that the return to a quicker surface will serve the mare CRUISE IN STYLE well, along with her running off a falling handicap rating. Edeiff's Lad rates a danger having finished third in this race 12 months ago and h eagain shaped satisfactorily when runner-up last time out. Karl Marx won over timber last time but the return to fences is something of a question mark, but if top weight Seven Kingdoms handles conditions he is handicapped to run well on old form, although there have been precious few signs of a revival of late.
