CRANE was impressive when gaining his first success at Lingfield at the end of last year and, having been gelded since, there's every reason to expect further improvement, so he's fancied to continue Michael Bell's excellent start to the turf campaign. Spirit of Bermuda and Maison de York look the chief dangers.
