CRYSTAL GAZING will not be one of the Henderson stable stars but she’s not fared badly in either start, only giving best close home behind a well-backed favourite last time at Newton Abbot. She gets one more chance ahead of Jinsha, second here last month but now with a different yard. Belatrix Lestrange was also runner-up on debut, at Uttoxeter, and wasn’t given a hard time so is open to improvement. The others have some improving to do if they are to figure.
