It was a strong novice event CRYSTAL FLYER (3) finished fourth in over 1m2f here on her second run. The Tom Ward trained filly duly got off the mark at Goodwood (1m2f) next-time-out. This opening rating could prove well within range for the daughter of Magna Grecia and with further progress anticipated is selected to make a winning handicap debut. PRINCE ERIC (9) made it three from three in handicaps with a narrow victory at Southwell. Will be dangerous if translating that form on turf now up in trip. First-time blinkers could bring out more from the recent Newcastle (1m2f) third MAFNOOD (1). A stiffer stamina test may suit MR MONACO (4).
