Crystal Pegasus and Zegalo have similar form having both made promising debuts over 7f at Ascot behind winners trained by John Gosden. Zegalo had strong claims at Beverley yesterday while the Gosden yard runs ANASTARSIA in this and she’s expected to show a big improvement from a recent debut over a mile at Ascot given an entry in next month’s Fillies’ Mile suggests she’s held in some regard. The remainder look up against it unless the newcomer Imperial Square proves above average.
