FormscanBy Tom Weekes - CRASSUS has shown enough thus far to suggest he can win this. He failed to win in nine flat starts but was nonetheless useful in that sphere (rated in the mid 70s) and ran well on debut over hurdles at Punchestown in September when second to a smart type who won again subsequently. CRASSUS fell at the second last, when disputing second, in a smart looking maiden at Ballinrobe on his latest start and comes here with strong claims in what looks a lesser race. Made In Pimlico was rated just 50 on the flat but has shown some improvement over hurdles. He was well held by CRASSUS's conqueror Duffle Coat at Gowran latest but that experience will stand to him and should be able give the selection a race. Battle Of Benburb showed ability on the flat but was well enough held, when showing some greeness, in a winners' hurdle at Punchestown recently. He should improve from that run. Glorious Zoff has yet to race beyond a mile and is surely best watched on hurdles debut while Whoareyouanyway is a capable flat performer but was well held on reappearance run last month and is another best watched for now.
