There is very little for backers to go one here with six of the seven declared runners making their racecourse debuts and there are some interesting contenders among them including Key Art, Tawaabb and Deal but it is the latter¿s stable companion CROWN that gets the vote. Richard Hannon's filly is the only one of the seven to have raced previously and she showed promise first time out at Bath before ultimately disappointing at Newmarket last time. The daughter of Royal Applause still ran a reasonable race at headquarters though and, with the benefit of experience, she looks worth chancing to open her account today. Jeremy Noseda is more than capable of producing one to win first time out so his runner, Key Art, a son of Kheleyf has to be respected. Mick Channon's Kyllachy colt Tawaabb makes plenty of appeal on pedigree, while Deal looks the second best of Richard Hannon's two runners. A market move for either Underworld Dandy or Ballyvonane would be of some interest but Crown has shown enough in two starts to make her the one they have to beat.
