Johnny Splash has a good record here but makes a swift reappearance after finishing third on the Polytrack on Wednesday. Pull The Pin is also turned out again quickly following his third on Carlisle on Monday but still makes more appeal than Pharoh Jake while Bubbly Bailey is better on the all-weather. SPIDER LILY should have more scope than these and her latest fifth at Bath was a much better effort as she blew the start and was forced to come around runners. She still finished ahead of Spic 'n Span and can open her account in a modest finale.
