None of these have experience of today’s surface but CRYSTAL DEAUVILLE won a seller at Lingfield last week. He comes out best of those with a handicap rating given an apprentice takes 7lb off his back today. Magic Applause is another winner at Lingfield but that was during the summer and Magic Pulse has the more recent form with a victory at Chelmsford last month. Ideal Spirit finished ahead of A Few Good Men, Argon and Street Sensation when third at Wolverhampton but the less exposed Takeonefortheteam may improve past her.
