Richard Hughes chose CRYSTAL NYMPH ahead of Juan Alonso at Salisbury 10 days ago and, though the latter came out best of the pair, sticks with the Rock Of Gibraltar filly here. She can only improve for her debut and can have her revenge and come home in front in this. What About Carlo is eased in grade following a third at Newbury and should make a race of it while Fun Mac, Castle Combe and Elysian Prince are all newcomers to note if attracting market support.
