Plenty with a shout in theis opener but LADY CRISTAL drops back down a grade after a recent fourth at Bath and should be in the mix. Flawlessly was runner-up at Catterick last week and has more scope than most while Prazeres wasn’t beaten that far when fifth at Ripon having slipped down the weights. Royal Celebration won at Newcastle in January and has been thereabouts in both subsequent starts while Hamidans Girl should be winning at this level before long.
