After enduring a long losing run, CRYSTALLIZE has rediscovered his three-year-old form and won twice since February. Unpenalised for Tuesday's win at Folkestone in an apprentice race, he remains on a winning mark and the booking of Neil Callan is another plus as he rides this quirky track better than most. Diddums and Jonny Ebeneezer have something to find with the selection on recent running on the all-weather, but Kai Mook looks to have every chance judged on her good effort at Wolverhampton last time. Mandhooma is making her seasonal debut but goes well here and makes most appeal of the remainder.
