Formscan - Progressive last term, Russian Crescendo has been rested since disappointing at Southwell on her reappearance. It would be no surprise to witness a much better effort from the Haggas filly, but PIQUE' could also bounce back. The daughter of Nathaniel has been competing in higher grade contests over 1m4f so far this season, but she returned the impressive winner over today's distance at Nottingham last season, and gets another chance back at this level. Curran is preferred to Beauld As Brass of the remainder.
