De Little Engine scored over track and trip before caught on the line by SWISSAL back here last time. The latter had to overcome trouble in-running on that occasion and is fancied to confirm superiority in this. Harry Beau won last year’s renewal and has slipped back down the weights since while Soaring Spirits finished runner-up over 6f here earlier in the week but has won over course and distance in the past. Diva Star has improved for the application of a tongue-tie and scored over today’s trip at Yarmouth before going close back at the same track last time.
