MCDELTA bids for a hat-trick under a penalty but wasn't unduly troubled when scoring at Epsom a week ago. Geoffrey Deacon's charge is fancied to continue his winning ways in this. Zain Spirit finished tailed off behind the selection in soft ground last time but had gone close over track and trip before that while Excellent Puck's latest second is taken with a pinch of salt as that came in some novelty race at Doncaster. Big Whiskey has decent claims if reproducing last month's third to Bartack over course and distance and Jillywinks could go well on only her second start handicapping.
