RACE SUMMARY
CRYSTAL KRAKEN matched her previous best despite a very slow start when second in a similar contest over C&D 3 weeks ago and she looks up to going one place better on that evidence reunited with Rossa Ryan. Market confidence behind nursery debutantes Lion of Persia and/or Naval Cop would put a different slant on things, however. 1-2-3: 1.CRYSTAL KRAKEN 2.LION OF PERSIA (IRE) 3.NAVAL COP KEY

Star Ratings Explained
Each horse has been given a star rating, these are defined below: HHHHH Selected to win the race. HHIII Unlikely to win but not totally without hope. HHHHI Good chance of being placed. HIIII Can be given little or no chance. HHHII By no means out of the reckoning but at least one or two hold stronger claims
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS EXPLAINED The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in nonhandicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating. For novice steeple chasers, the latest hurdle race rating may be shown until such time as the Handicappers allot a separate steeple chase rating. Such ratings are prefixed by the letter h.

WASHINGTON ROYALE has shaped with promise on all 3 starts in stronger company to date, latterly when fifth in a big-field Goodwood maiden 5 weeks ago. Remaining with potential for better still, he shades preference over Irish raider Ischgl who has shown enough himself to think a race of this nature is within his grasp. Beechwood Glory may emerge best of the remainder.

PEROLA still needs to confirm himself as effective on turf but the pick of his all-weather exploits suggest he’s up to landing a race of this nature and with the return to sprinting a positive back from another break, he could be the answer. Persian Gate rates a likely improver with his debut run under his belt and can provide the chief threat. 1-2-3: 1.PEROLA (FR) 2.PERSIAN GATE (IRE) 3.KODICALL (IRE) KEY colours

TIMEFORM VIEW Consistent, front-running filly. Won a soft-ground Catterick maiden on final start for Robert Cowell. Split a trio of next-time-out winners on stable debut before chasing home one on the up at Nottingham last month. Makes appeal following creditable 4 1/2-length fourth in a better C&D event latest.
