Oaks trial Crystal clear

Newbury Preview Crystal Curling, beaten favourite in last week's Cheshire Oaks, can make amends at Newbury today.

Newbury PreviewCrystal Curling, beaten favourite in last week's Cheshire Oaks, can make amends at Newbury today.

The Barry Hills-trained filly can keep her Vodafone Oaks hopes alive by winning the Swettenham Stud Fillies' Stakes. She made up several lengths in the closing stages at Chester and did well to get within five lengths of the winner, Hidden Hope.

Despite disappointing favourite backers, it was an encouraging first run of the campaign as well as being a step up in class.

Hills can also strike with Primo Way in the Jockeys Association Of GB Handicap.

After three fair efforts last term, Primo Way was sent to win his maiden at Southwell, which he did in good style by a length from Get The Point.

That success will have done the Primo Dominie colt a power of good and he is worth supporting in this six-furlong heat.

Siena Gold can confirm the good impression she made on her debut by winning the Sanctuary Group Fillies' Conditions Stakes.

Five lengths was the distance she had to spare over Dance Away when making all the running at Newmarket a month ago.

Trainer Brian Meehan has already pencilled in the Queen Mary Stakes at Royal Ascot for the daughter of Key Of Luck and hopefully his faith in Siena Gold will be justified.

Michael Jarvis took New Morning out of the Swettenham for a much easier option at Yarmouth.

The move can pay off as the Royal Navy Maiden Stakes over a furlong further looks a golden opportunity for the daughter of Sadler's Wells to open her account.
