MAID OF SPIRIT is penalised for making a winning debut over 5f at Windsor last month. But she only found top gear well inside the final furlong so this extra distance should suit Clive Cox’ filly and she can go in again. Maximum Power was behind the selection at Windsor but Crash Helmet finished runner-up at Wolverhampton on his introduction, despite having to be switched for a clear passage, and looks a threat. Aegean Beauty is another likely to improve but Alba Del Sole is pretty exposed as she returns to novice company.
