Sirius Slew has gone closest of these having been beaten less than a length over 6f at Carlisle last month. Amber Spark failed to show any improvement last time and also steps up in trip along with Balance Of Power. Whiskey And Water made a modest debut over course and distance but this won’t take much winning and GEORGE HASTINGS, a half-brother to a Listed winner in Italy among others, may prove good enough on his introduction.
