Formscan - CRYSTAL GUARD may not be the most prolific but he has done well since getting back to winning ways at Ayr in June, and going further up in distance is likely to bring about more improvement. The six-year-old ran well when second here on his penultimate outing and he may have too much for Purple Gown, as well as Rory The Cat, who has scored twice at this venue over hurdles.
