Spiekeroog scored over track and trip in June but has since been beaten back at this venue when finishing well behind runner-up SALLY FRIDAY. The latter won't need to improve much on that form to come out best and gets the nod. Dean Iarracht has plenty to find with the selection on earlier running at this track but has subsequently finished runner-up at Newcastle. He was still beaten six lengths, however, and Attansky is preferred as he steps back up in distance.
