Just Hiss has won over a longer trip at Newcastle and Pontefract this season and has been successful over course and distance in the past as has Luna Magic, who has only found one too good the last twice. CHINESE SPIRIT also knows where the winning post is here and Linda Perratt’s grey rarely runs a bad race at this level. Purple Gown would also have claims but Bulls Aye is invariably slowly away so stall one may not be ideal and his rider lacks experience.
