Gavin Cromwell and Colin Keane team up for the first time with Crystal Dawn, a winner over 6f here in August when staying on to lead close home. Sunset Nova is 1-26 on Turf but has only run here twice, finishing second from an 8lb higher mark in May last year. Chagall has been in good form for a few weeks, scoring at Cork and here. He went up 5lb for that latest success but very nearly made all over a mile two weeks ago. TIPPERARY MOON showed nothing in three summer maidens on Turf but very nearly pulled off a 66/1 shock here last month, only succumbing in the closing stages. The winner has gone in again so a 3lb rise doesn't look excessive.
