Crystal Guard^b²⁸

Age: 7| Weight: 9-2| J: Mohammed Tabti⁽⁵⁾| T: I Jardine| OR: 50| C

8/1

Course winner at Musselburgh (July), found competition too strong when ninth of 14 in handicap at Hamilton Park (13f, 25/1) 28 days ago, racing off the pace and labouring. Better suited by today's easier company.

Forecasts

Elemental Eye (3/1), Sea Master (3/1), Falaise Blanc (5/1), Rory The Cat (5/1), Zebra Star (6/1), Crystal Guard (8/1), Star Of Markinch (16/1)

ELEMENTAL EYE is in better heart than his recent form figures suggest and will appreciate this drop in class. Falaise Blanc arrives at the top of his game and remains unexposed over middle distances, so is feared most having pulled clear of the rest when second at Musselburgh last time. The reliable Sea Master completes the shortlist.
