Lucayan won over 7f here last month while Rania scored over the same trip at Wolverhampton a couple of days ago and is penalised 6lb. English Spirit is another stepping up in trip after returning a beaten favourite at the track and a chance is taken on DESERT LAND. The latter placed at Lingfield on his return to today’s distance and was winning off a 5lb higher mark on Turf earlier in the year. Think Trigger and Are You Able are open to improvement now handicapping.
