Crystal Moonlight²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: J Quinn| T: Sir Michael Stoute

4/7

Half-sister to the smart pair Crystal Ocean and Hillstar, this New Approach filly built on a promising debut last term to win readily at Doncaster last month. Her pedigree suggests she might be even better suited by this step up to 1m4f.

Form: 5-1

Snow Wind¹²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Jones| T: W J Haggas

11/8

High Chaparral filly who showed ability when fourth on debut at Sandown in June before hacking up at Ripon recently in an uncompetitive maiden. She did it very easily though and could be decent so has to be respected.

Form: 41

Crystal Moonlight (4/7), Snow Wind (11/8), With Good Grace (8/1), Leannes Lady (16/1)

Narrow prefernece is for CRYSTAL MOONLIGHT, who has a fine pedigree and should relish the step up to this trip after winning well in a Doncaster novice stakes last time. Snow Wind looks the danger despite her easy maiden win being easy to criticise due to the lack of real opposition. She could certainly have more to offer. With Good Grace was very green on debut but wil have learned plenty and, getting weight from the two previous winners is not out of it by any means.
