Stablemates Crown Ridge and Chilworth Lass are the only winners in the field, but the former is 7lb higher than last year's Brighton win and the latter won a seller over 6f on Polytrack. Mick Channon's third runner Fire Crystal has a bit to find and a chance is taken on OUT OF THE STORM. She produced her best effort yet when third under today's jockey at Lingfield in March and Neil Callan may be able to coax a bit more improvement out of her and land this. Areef has scope to improve but will need to if she's to trouble the judges.
