Dubai Crystal was no match for the odds-on Obelix at Newcastle but will have learned from the experience. Keep Me Stable was a disappointment at Salisbury after a fair debut at Newmarket but Khinjani ran green at Beverley and is a likely improver. ASHTANGA was easy to back at Salisbury but kept on nicely in the closing stages and would probably be hard to beat here if taking a step forward. Shazam makes most appeal of the debutantes being a €140,000 half-sister to three winners.
