It's unlikely CRYSTAL MARINER (10) gave his true running when last of six on handicap debut at Newmarket (July). Trained by Sir Michael Stoute he had wind surgery over the winter and given the promise shown prior to that effort it would hardly surprise this mark being within reach. Three-time course and distance winner BARYSHNIKOV (8) cannot be ignored under a penalty having scored tackling 1m2f at Redcar recently. INSPIRITUS (1) proved progressive on the AW. Racing for trainer Roger Varian this recent Lingfield AW (1m2f) handicap winner could be in the mix revisiting turf from a nice draw. PEARL EYE (5) is another to note.
