Spirited Guest is 4lb higher than when winning this last year under Rosie Margarson while Alazwar was in good form on the all-weather earlier in the year though hasn’t raced since April. Global Esteem could go well with Megan Wingrove taking 5lb off his back but Becky Smith steered CARNIVAL ZAIN to victory at Chester a fortnight ago with Fieldsman back in third and he gets the vote despite a 4lb higher mark.
