My Kinda Day found only one too good over 6f here in June and has scope on this surface. Infinite Grace could figure if taking to the all-weather but Sandown third Capla Spirit has something to prove on Tapeta. Astrozone is starting to slip down the weights again but is still 5lb higher than when successful over course and distance three runs ago. Mews House has been in good form on Turf and is a pound lower than when third last time at York but we’ll take a chance on BIRKENHEAD. He has three lengths to find on York running but was below par that day. Les Eyre’s sprinter had decent all-weather form in the autumn so is preferred to Youneverletmnedowm, who could find improvement in the cheekpieces.
