Spirit of Zebedee was beaten a length at Redcar with Arcane Dancer well beaten and looks to have every chance. He's preferred to Xceleration, who posted his best effort so far over 7f on the all-weather. David's Beauty failed to threaten dropped into a selling race on her latest start and a chance is taken that SHEPHERD'S BUSH will find the necessary improvement for Mark Johnston now handicapping for the first time. Lady Mcguffy is a similar type to the selection and could also go well.
