SPIN ARTIST has a very smart pedigree and powered to a debut victory at Chepstow though connections believed he needed every yard of that 7f so it's a surprise to see him dropping in trip for this. He has much more scope than any of these rivals and can follow-up. Salvatore Fury won a class 5 handicap here last month and has continued to run well in handicaps so looks well enough in to give a good account. Free Spin has only won at Dundalk but he's run reasonably well for David Barron who has brought young Irish jockey Ben Curtis over for the ride. Bonnie Charlie is just 1lb higher than when scoring here on fast ground in May and looks a threat.
