Former Godolphin assistant Henry Spiller is gradually building up his string and COMBE HAY could be the next winner for the yard. She made her Polytrack debut over 1m2f here last month where she may have hit the front too soon. Skylark Lady won a poor claimer here in August in a canter but has run poorly since while the maiden Medicean Queen was beaten in a seller here last time. Macksville was impeded at a vital stage at Wolverhampton, though he wouldn't have won, while Karam Albaari hasn't won for almost two years. Fleetwood Poppy has won twice, both when scrambling home over the course and distance, but is just as likely to finish last.
