Spinatrix won at Ripon and Ayr last month but her last two runs suggest she's in the handicapper's grip now. Anjomarba is back in the right grade after finding the company too hot at Nottingham last time, while Mango Music ran well carrying overweight at Ripon at the start of the month and shouldn't be far away off what is effectively a 4lb lower mark. There was plenty to like about CELTIC SIXPENCE's close second at Haydock, however, and Noel Quinlan's filly may just prefer this time of year. She is fancied to open her seasonal account with Royal Liaison best watched after a disappointing effort at Salisbury in June.
