        Verdict

        Rated 89, CRYSTAL PEGASUS is difficult to oppose in the opener. He returns to this level having finished a close-up third in a handicap at Haydock and should have the measure of Sarvan on these terms. The latter improved for the step up to today’s trip when narrowly beaten at Newmarket and looks the main threat to the selection. Of the newcomers, Noonday Gun is a full-brother to a winner in Ireland, Judgment Of Paris is a half-brother to a Listed winner and Dragon Glass is related to five winners over a variety of distances.
