There is little at the weights between the three allocated a handicap mark but Quite Smart's form seems the weakest of the trio and she hasn't raced since September. Mystical Spirit's placed efforts came over longer trips than this but ARC CARA went close when runner-up over 7f at Kempton last month, when clear of the rest, and she may prove good enough today. King To Be has a shout on October's debut effort on the all-weather while stablemate and newcomer Jupiter Custos is a half-brother to four winners.
