He's No Saint wasn’t beaten far last time and is clearly in good form but he needs to have his own way up front and that can’t be guaranteed here while Cincuenta Pasos will have to bounce back from a poor run at Leicester. Fashaak is of interest, although the way he weakened at Windsor was a concern, so KING OF SPIN looks the best option here. The lightly-raced three-year-old made it two wins on the bounce at Nottingham but the way he finished that race suggests there’s much more to come.
