Nonrunner
The returning Provident Spirit is preferred to Dubai Hills of David O'Meara's two runners but veteran GRISSOM is running well enough to get involved and is fairly treated on past form. He's preferred to course and distance winner Our Boy Jack, who was fourth here last month though still beaten 10 lengths. The three-year-old Sir Domino has the most scope and wasn't disgraced on his reappearance at Hamilton, though steps up a furlong. Finn Class and the consistent Funding Deficit aren't out of this but Reposer was well beaten at Musselburgh on Saturday and has been on a winning mark for a while.
