Winning debutante MARSH HAWK was headed right on the line in a Group 3 race at Salisbury earlier this month. That's the strongest form on offer and the Hannon filly should be good enough to land this. Dangers include Yodelling and Timba, both likely to improve past Sister Of Mercy having made winning starts in their respective maidens at Kempton and Goodwood. Crystal Zvezda is a half-sister to high-class duo Crystal Cappella and Hillstar and makes more appeal than Just Silca of the newcomers.
