Crystal Moments is given the vote to land the opener. Ed Dunlop's filly scored at the first time of asking over six furlongs last time where one of today's rivals Night Seed was over one length behind and although 4lb better off for that defeat, Crystal Moments was a comfortable winner and could be on the upgrade. Back on turf here should not hinder her bid and she is the clear form pick. Night Seed's victory was attained at Chepstow in testing conditions. She showed good speed in the contest won by Crystal Moments last time but the six furlong trip looked to have stretched her stamina. Green Poppy finished behind a long odds on favourite last time. She tackles six furlongs for the first time here but that will have to bring about the required improvement for her to trouble those towards the head of the market. Foxtrot Alpha is reportedly highly regarded at home and given the fact that the Winkworth yard saddled a couple of impressive juvenile winners in recent days, she has to be respected. Crystal Moments is the selection to land the opener.
