Verdict

If able to reproduce the form she showed on turf during the summer, CRYSTAL POOL could be the answer. She was runner-up off a 3 lb higher mark at Gowran when last seen in July and, though 0-10 on the all-weather, she wasn't beaten far when third here in February. Last-time-out winners Joupe and Scarlet Seymour both have more on their plates this time and Maricruz and No Show rate the main dangers.

  1. CRYSTAL POOL (IRE)
  2. MARICRUZ (IRE)
  3. NO SHOW (IRE)
