Ocean Crystal was sent off favourite here last week after winning a claimer at Lingfield but found a couple too good. British Embassy was joint favourite on his latest start at Wolverhampton but only beat one home and this trip has proved beyond him in the past. Arlecchino'S Leap looked suited by 7f at Lingfield, however, and could figure if translating that form to Turf. TROPICANA BAY (NAP) was poorly drawn on her reappearance at Lingfield and also a little keen. She showed herself to be better than that last year and can open her account today, though Red Perdita could be a threat if benefiting from her reappearance.
