FormscanBy Michael Graham - Crystal Dawn could be a handicap blot, particularly with Saw Ewing's claim factored in. She is gunning for a course and distance hat-trick and is greatly feared. She may be over bet, though, and stall 17 makes life harder. Slight preference is for HIEROGLYPHIC in the first-time cheekpieces. The Godolphin filly has a good record here and should be all the sharper for her fourth over course and distance last month. Myrcella wasn't beaten far into fourth in a better grade at Leopardstown. Her sole previous visit here saw her placed in March, so she is interesting. Shawaf dominated off the front over six furlongs at this venue in October. That was an improvement upon two placed efforts on the Polytrack, so he certainly has a role to play.
