Good Friday trip for Cromwell
Meath trainer Gavin Cromwell will be hoping that he has a Good Friday this week when he brings his consistent Political Policy to Lingfield for the £200,000 Coral Easter Classic All-Weather Middle Distance Championships Conditions Stakes over 10 furlongs.
It will be a tough test for the 98-rated Political Policy which finished second over a slightly longer distance at Dundalk at the beginning of March.
'I'd love to get him qualified for the big meeting at Lingfield and we might aim at that,' commented the trainer after a win at Dundalk in January.

Gordon Elliott's 2014 Triumph Hurdle winner Tiger Roll returns to the track at Dundalk this evening for the first time since finishing fourth of four behind Faugheen at Punchestown last May.
Tiger Roll is expected to win the opening (6pm) two-mile maiden with the biggest threat expected to come from the Dermot Weld-trained Sir Raston and the Edward O'Grady-trained Roconga.
