Lenny's Spirit faces a tougher task penalised for winning at York and BERRY EDGE can take advantage. The latter made a promising debut when beaten less than a length at Ayr and is taken to confirm running with Norman Kindu. The latter is preferred to stablemate and newcomer Dr T J Eckleburg but Ivynator may prove a bigger threat on his recent second at Lingfield and makes more appeal than Smart Qibili. Rising Moon is a newcomer worthy of a second glance.
