Inevitable Outcome has placed in both subsequent starts since winning at Wolverhampton while Garth Rockett found one too good over track and trip with previous winner Desert Land behind. Mike Murphy’s charge also beat Cappananty Con at Chelmsford last year and the latter was successful here a fortnight ago. But SAVE THE SPIRIT (NAP) is less exposed and having found 7f too far on his handicap debut, David O’Meara’s charge gets another chance back over his winning trip.
