Several have claims in a tight sprint but WINGS OF A DOVE has been winning over course and distance and can go close again. Mick's Spirit beat the re-opposing Kim Wexler by only a neck here recently and both can figure once again while Sir Rodneyredblood won over a longer trip at Yarmouth in first-time cheekpieces and switches to a visor for this. So Smart will likely be in the mix once again having finished runner-up on his last four outings.
