Fast Sprite only won a lowly Class 6 handicap at Chelmsford last time but Finelcity scored over 7f here last month, though is upped 4lb. Ravens Quest won over a longer trip in soft ground at Nottingham in July but REAVER (NAP) won over track and trip earlier this year and went in again at Windsor last month. Beaten only a head back at this venue last time, Eve Johnson Houghton’s charge may not have finished winning yet and is also preferred to Tripartite and Iberica Road, both placed on their latest starts.
