Crystal Deauville only won a seller here at the end of last year but he won twice on Turf in the spring. CAPTAIN LARS was beaten a neck by Jashma at Wolverhampton earlier this month but can take his revenge on a pound better terms and also confirm that running with Just Glamorous. Equimou easily beat Waseem Faris at Salisbury last month and could also figure if on a going day. Harry Hurricane and Jack Taylor are others to consider in an open-looking contest.
