No Planning probably has more class than these but has the weight to match and races for the first time since last December. Greyfriars Drummer may have a few pounds too much but Donald McCain's mare Seedless will have had her confidence boosted by an easy win in a Uttoxeter seller and ensure this is run at a decent gallop. It took a while for the penny to drop over hurdles with CARLITOS SPIRIT but he improved in leaps and bounds around here in the spring and ran a nice race on the level on his reappearance. Another victory isn't out of the question. Small Fly is in great form but this may be a step too far and Amazing King and Kadouchski are more interesting at the weights today.
