In depth
Verdict
Texas Ranger has looked a most progressive sort and is likely to be a warm order to follow up his win at Fontwell earlier in the week. He stayed on well on that occasion but as he likes to race prominently, the step back in trip here should not pose any problems. Lunar Crystal rates as the biggest danger whilst any support for Kety Star could be noted as significant.
