Top Spin makes a raid from Ireland having landed a decent handicap at Killarney last time and although connections will be confident of going well here he'll need to improve to beat NIDEEB. Clive Brittain's runner seems to be a horse going places at present and having followed a romp at this track with a cosy score in a similar race to this last time at Lingfield looks the one to beat again with the step down in trip no concern. Dreamspeed is closely matched with the selection after some good attempts in some top races during the turf season including a place a Group Three last time. Former Aiden O'Brien inmate Man Of Iron has claims on his three-year-old form but hasn't been as good this term.
