Soaring Spirits and Wallenberg posted improved efforts on their latest starts when placed over 7f and should go well. Lucky Mountain was a shade disappointing when beaten four lengths on his latest outing over C&D but is capable of better though INTERIOR MINISTER looks to have the stronger form. He was fourth at Kempton last month when subsequent winner Stasio finished runner-up and is fancied to find the requisite improvement to get his head in front here. Newcomers to note include Mighty Yar and Ningara but breeding suggests Don Padeja may do better over longer trips.
