Progressive last term, Russian Crescendo has been rested since disappointing at Southwell on her reappearance. It would be no surprise to witness a much better effort from the Haggas filly, but PIQUE' could also bounce back. The daughter of Nathaniel has been competing in higher grade contests over 1m4f so far this season, but she returned the impressive winner over today's distance at Nottingham last season, and gets another chance back at this level. Curran is preferred to Beauld As Brass of the remainder. |
RUSSIAN CRESCENDO hails from a very powerful yard that always does well at this venue, and although she did disappoint last time out when sent off as the market leader at Southwell, it might be best to draw a line through that effort, as it was her first run in a few months. She put in two game efforts at Kempton and Ascot for her last two runs of last season, and in both of those runs it looked as if this step up even further in trip would suit her. She doesn't do anything quickly but is a relentless galloper, and that could be put to good use in this contest. Pique has won over this trip previously, and although disappointing at Goodwood last time out, she takes a step down in class here, which could be more to her liking. Knights Affair has been mixing it up over obstacles recently, and although he might need further in the trip, he can still run well and fill the places here. |

Probably needed the race when well beaten in a handicap over 12 furlongs at Southwell latest; in good form prior to that; top course trainer; off a short-break; suited by 12 furlongs; big, quite slow and a staying type; a threat here if bouncing back to form |
