Cryptonym is steadily improving but his recent placed efforts have come over 1m4f at Kempton and this shorter trip is not certain to bring further progress. Something went amiss with Royal History at Lingfield last time having finished runner-up on his earlier debut and he has his first start since May. AMAZING CHARM showed promise on her introduction over a mile at Nottingham last week when giving the impression this longer trip would suit. Clive Brittain's filly can open her account with the rest hard to recommend.
