SPRAY TAN did himself no favours hanging badly right in the closing stages at Chelmsford last time and caught on the line by Red Flute. He can reverse running on better terms with the latter on this right-handed track and gets the vote. Lizzy's Dream scored over 6f in this lowly grade a fortnight ago while Imjin River was placed in a seller at Southwell recently and both will find this tougher. The remainder are even harder to fancy on the evidence of recent efforts.
