Deauville Crystal is very interesting going into this in receipt of over a stone from all of her opponents. She may prove good enough, though she also has to show that she stays this far and she might be worth taking on with newcomer KALONDRA. Neil Mulholland's gelding is significantly better than the field over hurdles, should be well schooled and both trip and ground are no problem for him. Ballycrystal is related to Grand National winner Comply Or Die and should also be able to give a good account on his chasing introduction.
