Pen Bal Crag finished third at York last time and looks likely to be thereabouts once again. He had today's rival SEE CLEARLY behind on that occasion, but the latter can re-oppose on better terms under today's conditions and Tim Easterby's filly is fancied to reverse running given she produced her best effort so far over C&D in May. Galilee Chapel wasn't beaten far despite finishing sixth at Newcastle recently but that was over 6f, while Cooldine Cat and Lady Caprice should have benefited for the experience of their recent debuts and Byronic Hero could prove best of the newcomers.
