Verdict

Blithe Spirit has recorded five of her six wins to date at this venue and reversed earlier running with Powerallied when beating the latter here last month. But neither have the best of the draw today and a chance is taken on POYLE VINNIE. The latter was placed over 5f here in July and is 3lb lower for this. Confessional was well behind Powerallied here earlier but arrives in better form this time after a second at Doncaster but Kibaar is upped in class after scoring at Musselburgh and Seve was a well beaten fourth behind Blithe Spirit last time.
