Comptonspirit beat Hazelrigg, Galpin Junior and Chosen One last time at Carlisle but may struggle to replicate that success at the top of the weights. Just a neck separated Rio Sands and King Of Swords on their most recent effort at Pontefract as they both lost out to Bosun Breese, with both worth considering on similar going here. The vote though goes to CARANBOLA who was a two length victor over course and distance most recently. She is looking to overturn a previous loss to King Of Swords earlier in the month and with a liking for the course and a smaller disparity in the weights, Mel Brittain's filly can do just that.
