Crystal Ocean (7/4), Forever Song (7/4), Okool (7/2), Peterport (6/1), Immortalised (16/1), Chief Craftsman (16/1), Katmandoo (20/1), Nathan (33/1), King Kevin (50/1), Theglasgowwarrior (80/1), Navajo Grey (100/1)

Verdict

The well-bred CRYSTAL OCEAN can get off the mark at the second time of asking by taking this 1m2f maiden event on his seasonal debut. The selection is closely related to a number of high-class middle-distance performers and can get the better of the unraced Peterport who is another well-bred individual and who represents 2016's winning stable. Another unraced colt Forever Song can claim third on his debut here ahead of Okool who ran well in a couple of races over shorter as a juvenile.
