Racing Post verdict
Third-partyCrimson Road heads this competitive Chepstow Class 5 contest on a rating that places him narrowly ahead of the field, and he tops our figures for this ten-furlong test on good-to-firm ground. Dancingondiamonds poses the most immediate threat at a pound adrift, with Annexation and Pride Of Nepal also closely matched and capable of making their presence felt if the selection is below his best. That said, Crimson Road's edge in quality, however slim, is enough to inspire confidence in a race where the margins are tight throughout. **Crimson Road** is our selection.
