It’s taken a while but CRYSTAL DAWN finally showed a glimpse of her form in Ireland when scrambling home at Chelmsford last month. She attracted significant market support that day and a 3lb rise may not be enough to thwart a follow-up. Shin Saw Gyi has yet to finish out of the frame and should be in the firing-line again with Hollie Doyle back in the saddle. Adatorio is 0-13 but has been pretty consistent and placed here in January and Aviary won here last month before a close-up fifth at Lingfield.
