COSMIC CRUSADER (8) was well in the market when resuming last time out and finished seventh in the LR Lex Piper Stakes at this track over 1m. Fitter and the blinkers come off. Expected to be in the finish. ROYAL TORONADO (9) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish fourth, beaten 0.9 lengths, over this journey in the LR Lex Piper Stakes at this track. Sure to prove tough to stop. SAPPHIRE STREET (10) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten one length, over 7f at this track. Has a good association with Chris Parnham with a run of three top-three results. Certainly one to consider. CASH AWAY (3) ran a better race last start, finishing 3.5 lengths away in fourth over 1m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
