The consistent CRASSUS thoroughly deserves to get his head back in front, having found just one too good for the fourth time this season when beaten ½-length by L'un Deux Trois here 12 days ago. He has every chance of reversing the placings with that rival on these revised terms. Slieve Bearnagh did the job well at Gowran recently and is greatly respected, while Dha Leath also has claims.
