Spirited Guest has a chance in a tight handicap but is possibly best over 6f. Brazen Bolt also goes on the shortlist though has done all of his winning so far in lower grades. Ataser has dropped to a very fair mark but Kingmania seems to need fast ground to show her best. MISTER BLUEBIRD beat the in-form Tamaska upped to this trip at Musselburgh earlier this month and Heather Main’s gelding still appears to be heading in the right direction. Dashing Dick has shown his best form this season at Leicester.
