Top Spin has his first start for Jonjo O'Neill so is probably best watched on this occasion. For 'n' Against hasn't raced since the end of March and another maiden, MORESTEAD SCREAMER, is preferred. She ran her best race so far at Worcester last month and still looks fairly treated. Hi Note has already won twice around here while A Cor Et A Cri and Tir Dubh are others to note in another trappy contest.
