Jim Crowley blog: 'I hope he’ll get the day off to a winning start'

This filly has some back form of interest, but needs to step up on what she’s shown so far this season. She has had a wind up and wears blinkers for the first time here and if they help our improve that can only be a positive to her chances.

This horse ran a very nice race to finish second at Sandown last time and Richard Hannon wouldn't be one to send one to Beverly if he didn't think he had found a good opportunity. She’s drawn well in four, has won over a mile, and should go very well.

This is another who ran well to finish second on his last run, his first run for the Kublers, whose horses are running well. This doesn’t look the strongest heat, and off a mark of 72 he should be competitive.

The absence of White Birch is a real shame, as he would have been a really interesting and classy opponent for the hot favourite City Of Troy to take on, so whilst there are seven lining up against him here, one of those is his pacemaker, and the rest, on bare ratings at least, have plenty to find with the Derby winner.  

He proved at Epsom that he stays really well, but he also showed plenty of pace as a 2 year old, so the drop back to 10 furlongs shouldn't be a problem, particularly with the stiff uphill finish at Sandown that will suit his stamina. I think Ryan Moore will ride him as the best horse in the race, he will have plenty of confidence in him, and I would be surprised if he didn't win the race really well, he looks a cut above these.
