SPRING BIRD (NAP) has the most obvious claims having gone close to catching Lazy Sioux over track and trip a fortnight ago with Lady Poppy, Incomparable and Camanche Grey all finishing behind. Dandy Nicholls' charge can race off the same mark today and is preferred to recent Musselburgh winner Windforpower as the latter steps up a grade. Pavers Star is usually thereabouts but is 7lb higher than his win at Newcastle in October and Perfect Words remains 8lb higher than when landing a double over course and distance in August.
