Verdict
Game Master will, no doubt, have learned plenty from his fourth at Lingfield in November. Dubai Leader shaped with definite promise when third over a mile at Ayr while Inchbae is worth a market check as she is out of a dam who has produced winners with all three of her offspring to so far race. Eljenob completely blew the start at Redcar and should leave that run well behind in time but CRYSTAL DELIGHT (NAP) looks the one to beat on his debut third behind a couple of really nice types at Leicester. Sir Michael Stoute trained both siblings and also his smart dam Crystal Capella.
