Verdict
Richard Hughes and Finley Marsh won a 1½m handicap with a progressive 3-y-o in last week's Racing League at Newcastle and CRIMINAL looks to have a similar profile. The form of his handicap debut second at Ascot has been franked and he's preferred to fellow 3-y-os Say What You See, who ran a blinder at Newcastle last week, and Spirit of Jura.

VerdictLightly-raced sort who made a solid start to his handicap career when second of 7 over 1½m at Ascot on King George day.
