Newbury 2.40 8 Cricklewood Green - each way @ 7/1 (Odds to 4th place)

The most competitive race of the day and the straight mile at Newbury takes some judging as it
is very easy to go too fast too soon and equally tough to judge if you are on a "hold up" horse if something "slips the field".
The draw is important and being near the middle can be an asset but plenty of time to get a nice slot down the middle.
Ideally Course form and Distance form is a big advantage and CRICKLEWOOD GREEN a Course and Distance winner
looks to have been primed for this race. It has an excellent record in August and Trainer and Jockey are potent on this
horse when together and a big run is expected with "odds to 4th place". Very competitive and anything could "pop up"
but this horse ticks every box and can't really be ignored.
