Light Mozart, Garstang and Spiritual Peace are the three for the shortlist in this competitive sprint handicap, and Light Mozart is taken to make up for some near misses. Kevin Ryan dominates the trainers' winners tally and he saddles Spiritual Peace who lost his maiden tag at Southwell before running respectably in a good class Nottingham contest last time. The trainer has always held his charge in high regard and Spiritual Peace can give a good account. Garstang has won four of his last seven on the all weather surfaces and he ran a blinder at Haydock last time only to be touched off by Gavarnie Beau, who went on to win again. Garstang looks certain to be thereabouts. Light Mozart is still a maiden after eight attempts but keeps hitting the frame and was only narrowly beaten on her latest visit to the track. She appears to be well treated here and she can get her head in front of some useful rivals. Light Mozart can lead them home.
