Verdict

Low-mileage 7-y-o CRAZIERTHANDAISY would have finished closer to Top Guy at Newbury barring a late error and on 3 lb better terms, she's narrowly preferred to Dan Skelton's unexposed stayer. Heart Over Head steps into a very competitive handicap for his hat-trick bid but merits plenty of respect given his recent improvement, while Sea Invasion could be interesting back over hurdles providing the ground isn't too testing.

  1. CRAZIERTHANDAISY
  2. TOP GUY (IRE)
  3. HEART OVER HEAD (IRE)
