The presence of Paul Hanagan aboard Crystallus suggests that connections are hopeful that the filly will leave her debut running behind and she was always struggling at Pontefract as she still had a hood on when the stalls opened. This certainly doesn't appear to be as competitive a race as that maiden and she may go well but preference is for QUESTIONNAIRE who can come up with the answer. Nicky Vaughan has hit the target with five of his twelve juveniles to have run at the track in recent seasons and the daughter of Iffraaj showed enough at York to think that she can play a role here although it's a little surprising to see her dropped in trip. The market will be useful but Manoori may prove to be the one to beat with Go Maggie Go and Hygrove Gal capable of better.
