The Crawford team is becoming increasingly shrewd and successful with raids from across the Irish Sea. The yard landed a double at Monday's meeting here and fire a twin salvo today with winning pointers Farfields and Lady Shirley, with the market likely to provide the best guide to the pair. However, the form is hard to assess in the context of this contest and it might be worth chancing OH SO BEAUTIFUL in receipt of all the allowances. Lucinda Russell's filly has shown enough in three outings over timber to suggest a race of this nature is within her compass. Similar comments apply to Hannah Jacques and she rates the danger with improvement likely after three hurdling outings of some promise.
