SKY SEVEN ran really well to be a close second over C&D on debut and any improvement should see him bang on the premises once again. Crockford should prove better than he managed to show in two starts in the summer and holds a Derby entry. Snow Hope has a nice pedigree and may be best of the newcomers.
