Verdict

It is hard to build a convincing case for many in this and a chance is taken with CORAL SEA. Charles Hills' runner handles cut and this new trip may unleash some improvement. Three-year-olds have a good recent record in this and the booking of Jim Crowley looks noteworthy. Dynamic Girl could put in an improved display with the stable showing signs of a revival and topweight Nightingale Valley has been unlucky not to add to her tally following her Kempton success in April.
