Verdict

ANGLERS CRAG has shown improved form since joining Brian Ellison, making it 2 from 2 for the yard when successful at Market Rasen last month, and he can score again in his current mood. He is taken to get the better of Massini Man, who had looked set to go close before falling 2 out at Kelso on his latest outing, while Half Shot also enters calculations.
