CROWN OF OAKS (3) indicated promise when third in a late season Newmarket (Rowley) contest during October. The William Haggas trained colt may have improved plenty over the winter and can relish stepping up to 1m. Danger could come from NUTMEG (12) on the back of his pleasing runner-up effort on debut over 7f at Southwell. Will also appreciate going up in distance and likely benefit for experience. Well-bred newcomer BEAGLE BAY (2) would be interesting if attracting market support for powerful connections. MIGHTY BOY (11) and POINT OF CONTACT (13) are both entitled to be in the mix based on the promise they displayed last year.
