WINTER CROWN 33/1
WINTER CROWN at 33/1, Liam Bailey with Cian Horgan taking off 5lb, is the one — exactly the sort of race we are looking for. He has had 2 of his last 4 starts on the wrong ground and his mark is 6lb lower for it and has won here twice.
The dangers are GREAT at 6/1 (went close off this mark) and SUGAR BABY at 20/1 (a course winner).
Each-way is the way in at 33/1, 3 places at 1/4.
