In depth
Verdict
Crystal Starlet improved to finish third over track and trip behind a winner rated 76. But TALL ORDER finished runner-up to a Godolphin horse rated 87 at Leicester last time and Michael Bell’s charge gets the vote on that form having been gelded since. Candleford posted a better effort at Sandown last time and is preferred to Colonial Love but the remainder look up against it.
