A fast-run 5f is perfect for the largely-consistent Only Spoofing and he has plenty in his favour receiving weight all round in this. All ground comes alike to Jedd O’Keeffe’s six-year-old and he’s only 3lb higher than when scoring at Ascot last summer. But FINAL VENTURE should get a nice tow in the race down the centre of the track drawn between trail-blazers Caspian Prince and Acclaim The Nation and he is on a decent mark at present. Celsius’ only poor run this year came over 6f and he is less exposed than some of these but Recon Mission has raced exclusively over a furlong further so far this season. Benny And The Jets may be the pick of the remainder.
