SALVATORE FURY has been keeping better company than this over 6f but scored over track and trip last year off a similar mark and Keith Dalgleish’s yard is in good form. Spirit Of Wedza won over 6f at Wolverhampton in February but that was only his second victory in 33 starts and Ambitious Icarus is another rare winner nowadays. Flicka's Boy slips further down the weights as his long losing run continues while Top of The Bank has recorded all four wins so far over 6f.
