Great call from Gay. Original quote: "Crystal Deauville - Has improved a lot for it's recent run - first run back for a while. 2lbs lower here too and I think he'll put in a much better display today. Shame only 6 runners as just 2 places up for grabs but with Shane Kelly riding…

A solid e/w run from Gary's horse. Original quote: "Last run was Swift Fox's best run to date when winning at Lingfield. If seeing out 6f (no reason why he shouldn't) he should have every chance again here. Only 2lbs higher but we offset that with Charlie's 3lb claim. "
