PINK CRYSTAL caught the eye finishing with a late flourish to grab third over track and trip on her debut. The Haggas filly gets the vote on that showing and is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Tiber Flow, the first foal of a Group 3 winner. Superior Council is another likely improver having finished fourth at Redcar on her debut but Macchiavello showed little improvement at Wolverhampton last time. Dirty Leeds has had a wind operation and True Jem returns from a lay-off.
