DANDY SPIRIT completed a double in testing conditions in the spring and ran well in a better race at Doncaster last time. Any further rain would greatly aid his cause. Mrs Bagerran got off the mark at the 30th times of asking at Musselburgh and has only been raised 2lb but Slingsbytoo is still a maiden and was beaten off this mark at Doncaster last time. Ben Macdui doesn't win very often and looks a few pounds high but Kraken Power is consistent at this level and should give a good account.
