Sellingallthetime would prefer faster going and the same comment applies to recent Pontefract winner Card High. Regal Ways finally opened her account when scoring at Hamilton but is upped in class along with Clear Spell, who has just the one previous win in 20 starts. Next Stop is unproven over the trip though Deep Resolve won over 1m4f at Haydock last month and could go well. But STRAIT OF MAGELLAN has plenty in his favour today and Michael Bell's charge gets the vote to go in again after scoring in soft ground over track and trip last time by over four lengths.
