Master Mirasol was raised 10lb for winning at Hamilton and this will be his first try over 7f. Ediye may be edging towards a winning mark, however, while Poet's Beauty has been knocking on the door. Musical Taste started favourite at Leicester in August and Spirit Of The Vale likewise at Kempton, though the latter has become very disappointing. HYALINE was third when stepped up to 7f at Epsom in July but, after quickening clear, stopped quickly inside the final furlong. He's had a couple of months off to mature and can open his account today. Palpitation could be a danger if he stays but the handicapper has taken no chances with Dark Crescent.
