CROSSGALES KING 11/1
CROSSGALES KING at 11/1, Syd Hosie with Benjamin Macey taking off 5lb, is the one I would side with. He was staying on at the finish last time.
COUNT ADHEMAR rates higher on our figures but is passed over — won last time off 98 and runs off 103 — up 5lb.
Each-way is the way in at 11/1, 2 places at 1/4.
