Spirit Of Wedza has finished runner-up in five of his 15 starts and has never won but he won't go much lower in the ratings than this. Ythan Waters has shown his best form on ground with some give though has gone well here in the past - some rain would be welcome. SPACE WAR gained the seventh victory of his career in a ladies' race at Chester and with just a 4lb rise to contend with and back on a more conventional course he can complete a double with his rider's claim a plus. Mustique Dancer showed nothing in her first season but has a nice pedigree and couldn't be any lower in the weights for her handicap debut.
