Spirituoso was a 66/1 chance when scoring over course and distance last week and has only been raised 3lb. PRETTY LITTLE LIAR has won around here and completed a double over hurdles and fences last autumn. She looks on a decent enough mark to gain her third success on the track with her rider's claim a massive bonus. The stable also run Sceptred Isle, who was rated 75 when racing in the UK. Wojood has a course and distance victory to his credit but may prefer further these days and Alhaajeb was behind Spirituoso last week as was Persian Wolf, though the latter was staying on at the finish and can get closer. Colin Keane's presence on the 19-run maiden Wave Walker is interesting.
