Spirit Of Oakdale won over 7f at Wolverhampton last time but has something to prove at this distance and is 7lb higher, while Avalon Bay has also won over a shorter trip but ran as though something was amiss last time. St Oswald should have the requisite stamina stretching out to a mile for the first time and Dysios will get better as the season progresses, but a chance is taken on WHITBY JET. He went close over C&D last September and a promising effort on his reappearance suggests Ed Vaughan's charge will be winning soon off his current mark.
