Swiss Cross got his head in front here recently but was due to run at Lingfield yesterday. Soar Above won over 7f at the track in September and races over this shorter trip for the first time while Avon Green was runner-up over course and distance but never threatened the winner. KRAKA also found one too good at Wolverhampton recently but was only caught in the final strides and he gets another chance today. Spanish Star has placed off similar marks this year but remains without a win in 15 attempts.
