CRYSTAL MER had plenty in hand when justifying strong support on his first outing for his current yard over C&D last month and looks certain to progress further and win more races. Turpin Gold is another who has been transformed by a stable switch and seems sure to go well in his hat-trick bid given the authority in which he scored at Huntingdon, while the in-form and likeable Pittsburg is also worthy of respect back over the smaller obstacles.
