In depth
Verdict
CROWN WALK wasted no time opening her account when scoring by over four lengths at Chelmsford on her debut. She beat a subsequent winner on that occasion so the form looks solid enough and this longer trip should also suit. Feathery was placed for Jim Bolger in Ireland but has her first outing for new connections while Coralie made only a modest start at Lingfield but could well improve past Dorella. Of the newcomers, Annie Mae is related to winners and Midnight In Paris is a half-sister to a Listed winner in France.
