Deauville Crystal was closing on the winner over 2m at Sandown two weeks ago and looks sure to stay the extra yardage here. She goes on the short-list along with Dinsdale, successful over 2m here on his latest start. A line through Most Celebrated gives the latter a bit to find with the progressive DON BERSY, however. Tom Symonds’ juvenile has now won his last three and it’s hard to see Final Choice reversing recent running. Night Of Sin beat Timoteo at Bangor and followed up at Warwick but looks harshly treated for what he’s achieved. Templier won over 1m6f on the Flat so might enjoy a step up in distance but Hygrove Percy is looking a little exposed. Buckle Street’s Southwell win is working out better than expected so he shouldn’t be ignored.
