Race preview
Simon Crisford landed this contest 12 months ago and has a chance once again with his first two-year-old runner of the season, the debutant Be Prepared. Port Winston is the only one of these to have a taste of the racetrack when finishing third at Windsor last month and may improve now stepped up from 5f. However, this may go the way of the Godophin newcomer OTTOMAN COURT, who is a half-bother to UAE Oaks second Swift Rose and represents a Charlie Appleby stable in good form.
