      In depth

      Verdict

      Sugar Blaze has plenty of speed in her pedigree and makes more appeal than fellow newcomer Cracking Choice. Crystal Cove was slightly disappointing when only fifth at Beverley last time as he'd ran much better on his debut at Southwell. Even so, he still had both El Milino Blanco and Hashegotanymoney well behind. That leaves SURELY SPEIGHTFUL, who was beaten a couple of lengths on her racecourse debut at Ascot behind Graphic Guest but, as the latter has since won again, that form looks good enough to land this.
