Kinigi's three wins on turf have been over the minimum trip and she still looks a shade high in the weights anyway, while Miss Firefly went close over C&D last month when runner-up to EMIRATESDOTCOM. The latter has since been beaten over a longer trip, but the form of his victory looks slightly stronger than Gracies's Games recent win here, and Milton Bradley's charge is just preferred. Stablemate Spinning Spirit also has claims on his earlier win at Catterick though he's failed to figure in a couple of starts since, while Schoolboy Champ's successes are few and far between but he is back on a winning mark.
