Unraced son of Mastercraftsman. Expensively bought for 125,000 gns as a yearling in October 2015. Half-brother to three winners at up to an extended 1m6f and an interesting runner on debut.
Finished runner-up in a 7f maiden at Newbury on sole outing at two. Is a half-brother to high class performers Crystal Capella, Hillstar and Crystal Zvezda amongst others and this step up to middle-distances looks likely to suit.
Unraced son of Dubawi out of dual Group 2 winner Echoes In Eternity. Half-brother to useful 1m2f-2m performers Whispering Gallery, Eavesdropper and Sound Reflection and represents top connections here.
Well held when finishing ninth of 16 in a maiden over an extended 1m2f at Doncaster on his debut earlier this month. Probably best watched at present.
Signs of ability when making his debut over 1m at Haydock (good) last September. Likely to appreciate this step up in trip but more needed to figure in this.
Unraced gelded son of Holy Roman Emperor. Cost 32,000 gns as a yearling in October 2015. Half-brother to a number of useful winners and worth a market check on debut with yard in good form at present (3/9).
Unraced home-bred son of Nathaniel and a half-brother to classy stayer King Of Wands amongst others. Wears a hood on debut here and market support would be interesting here.
Shaped as if this step up to 1m2f would suit when running twice over 1m in September last year. Most recent of those outings came at Newmarket on good-to-firm ground and should have conditions to suit here.
Well beaten when making his debut over an extended 1m2f at Doncaster on good-to-soft ground earlier this month. Probably best watched here.
Well beaten on debut at Newcastle over 1m on the AW at the end of last month. Probably best watched on her turf debut today.

Forecasts
Crystal Ocean (7/4), Forever Song (7/4), Okool (7/2), Peterport (6/1), Immortalised (16/1), Chief Craftsman (16/1), Katmandoo (20/1), Nathan (33/1), King Kevin (50/1), Theglasgowwarrior (80/1), Navajo Grey (100/1)
The well-bred CRYSTAL OCEAN can get off the mark at the second time of asking by taking this 1m2f maiden event on his seasonal debut. The selection is closely related to a number of high-class middle-distance performers and can get the better of the unraced Peterport who is another well-bred individual and who represents 2016's winning stable. Another unraced colt Forever Song can claim third on his debut here ahead of Okool who ran well in a couple of races over shorter as a juvenile.
