Verdict

CRUSADE went to York for a very strong 7f maiden and appeared totally unfancied. He showed good pace until fading in the closing stages and can make that experience count here. Pearl In The Sand pulled very hard on her second start at Leopardstown where she led into the final furlong. She should settle better this time and looks a very live threat. Jim Bolger's youngsters have been in fine form all season and he has three entries here. Kevin Manning takes the ride on the Green Desert filly Patrimonium and she should prove best of the trio, while Dermot Weld's Oasis Dream filly Swerve is another newcomer to watch out for.
