In depth

Verdict

SPIRIT OF BELLE is upped 7lb for his latest win at Kempton but may not have finished improving yet and should make a bold bid for a hat-trick. Summer Icon was placed here last time as she looks to exploit a slide down the weights and should confirm running with Call Out Loud while Aventinus won a higher grade contest at Goodwood during the summer and remains 3lb higher. Human Nature has a shout on recent form at Kempton and is another to consider.
