Race preview
CROSSFORD put in an eye-catching display when outrunning odds of 33/1 to finish third on his debut at Doncaster earlier in the month. The son of Dawn Approach was very green on that occasion and he is likely to improve significantly for that experience. Beijing Billy and Roscioli are others who put in promising efforts on their first outings and it would be no surprise to see either of them make the frame. Quintillus is arguably the most noteworthy newcomer, being a half-brother to the Group 1 winner Ultra, although Wahraan is a half-brother to a Listed winner and his dam is closely related to New Approach and Was.
