Verdict
KARAKULA DANCER is really progressive and won smoothly at Kempton last time to make it two from three this year. He remains unexposed on all-weather and over this trip and another bold showing looks assured. Crimson Rambler might have to settle for another supporting role and similar sentiments apply to Lexington Express, who showed improved form at Wolverhampton to take third.
Expert View Verdict
CRIMSON RAMBLER has been in good form since going handicapping with a string of placed efforts to his name. He was probably given a bit too much to do but finished well last time suggesting that this longer trip should suit. He is chosen ahead of Karakula Dancer who has won 2 of his last 3 and had a bit hand last time so should remain competitive off 4lb higher. The consistent but frustrating Lexington Express is also feared as she is entitled to come on for her latest outing.
