Spirit Of Zebedee won over today’s trip at Lingfield before placing over 5f at Wolverhampton and can figure again back in this lower grade. Viking Way has gone close on Tapeta the last twice now and should be in the mix while Windforpower and Everkyllachy were both thereabouts over the minimum trip last time and the latter has won over 6f in the past. INDIAN WARRIOR has yet to win anywhere but was beaten only a length over track and trip on his debut for Ruth Carr at the start of this month and gets a speculative vote to come good for his new yard in this.
