This may well be between CRAVING and Hasanoanda. The second-named has to be respected given the way he caught the eye in finishing on debut at Chelmsford last time, but slight preference is for Simon Crisford's charge. He has practically been waiting to win a race of this nature having been beaten narrowly in two novice events here recently, including over C&D last time out. He is taken to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking, while Voyager Blue could prove third best having run fairly well at this course on debut.
