Verdict

CRYSTAL CAPELLA doesn't stand up to much racing but she's a high-class mare when she does make the track. She's won on her seasonal debut for the last two years and Sir Michael Stoute's charge is the one to beat on her reappearance. Both Myplacelater and Meeznah have a bit to find with the selection, but Never Forget is interesting on her first run for Luca Cumani as she won a Group 2 event at Saint-Cloud last summer. The unbeaten Vita Nova steps up in class after running out an easy winner of a handicap at Newmarket recently, while Ferdoos was beaten only a nose by Polly's Mark last September and could turn the tables today.
