Verdict
The ground is likely to be pretty cut up by the time these two-year-olds leave the starting stalls so stamina will be required. CRYSTAL OCEAN, a son of Sea The Stars, is from the same family as the smart middle-distance performers Crystal Capella and Hillstar. He has a Dewhurst entry and can make a winning debut. The Invincible Spirit colt Emmaus cost €580,000 and is from a stable going well so is respected. Mafaaheem is a likely sort on pedigree and the owner's retained jockey prefers him to Alwahsh. Earthly is also worth a market check while Warrior's Spirit may prove the best of those with experience.
