Spinning Coin is bound to be popular with backers having won her last three starts, latterly against older horses at Windsor in an admittedly weak race, but this looks tougher for her under a penalty and the vote goes to Let It Be, who is preferred to Marias Magic. The selection has gone up 10lbs for her win at Redcar last time but Keith Reveley's filly was good value for her success that day and is taken to follow up. Safirah is preferred to the reappearing Etching among the two Mark Brisbourne-trained runners, although of more interest may be Dispol Foxtrot, who steps up in trip to 1m4f for the first time since 2001, having been running at around a mile, but is bred to appreciate the longer distance and could improve for it. The main danger to the selection though could come from Mark Johnston's Marias Magic, who remains feasibly well treated on the form shown when winning at Carlisle in May but disappointed on her only start since later on that month and has been given a break since. Let It Be won easily at Redcar last time though and is taken to follow up.
