PLATINUM CRYSTAL improved with each of her three starts as a juvenile and maintained that theme of race-by-race progress when narrowly prevailing on handicap debut at Newcastle last month. She should have more to offer now moving back up in trip and gets the nod ahead of another upwardly mobile type in Kirkdale, who signed off his 2-y-o campaign on a winning note. Prince of India did the job well when opening his account at Wolverhampton and also has claims, along with Dandy Magic.

    Promising type. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Newcastle (6f, 17/2) 19 days ago, just holding on. 3 lb nudge fair enough and there should be better to come from this filly back at 7f.
