Honeysuckle Lil was returned a losing favourite when runner-up over track and trip last time though still finished in front of Casterbridge. Foxtrot Knight was well ahead of Black Grass and Desert Ace when fourth at Haydock and should go well but Eternalist is upped in class under a penalty after winning at Thirsk. SPIRIT OF WEDZA won on the all-weather earlier and went in again over course and distance last month. An apprentice’s allowance negates a 3lb rise in the weights and Julie Camacho’s sprinter should make another bold bid.
