Verdict

CROESO CYMRAEG is now into the veteran stage but he clearly retains plenty of ability judged on his latest midfield effort over further at Windsor 4 weeks ago. Back at the scene of each of his last 2 victories, he's been afforded a chance by the assessor and could be worth chancing in an open affair. Photon and Expert Witness are others to consider.

  1. CROESO CYMRAEG
  2. PHOTON (IRE)
  3. EXPERT WITNESS
