Verdict

It's best to overlook CERTAINLY RED's effort in the Grimthorpe at Doncaster where he was one of eight that failed to complete in that 10-runner contest. He shaped as though ready to strike when hitting the crossbar at Sandown on his penultimate start and the drying ground here will be a big help. The lightly-raced Supervisor has resumed in good order this season and he is feared most ahead of Crosspark, Fidux and Run To Milan.

  1. CERTAINLY RED

  3. CROSSPARK
