Several have been thereabouts recently but ONE LAST HUG went the closest to winning when beaten less than a length over track and trip and gets a speculative vote. Spartakos has been well beaten since scoring at Musselburgh last month with Listen Again back in third while Retirement Beckons is usually in the mix at this level. Hostelry may also figure back in this lower grade while Written Broadcast gets a change of headgear on the back of a decent fourth here.
