Spavento has been placed over a mile but this trip is unknown territory and the long-standing maiden is probably worth opposing on her reappearance. Easy Terms has also had plenty of chances while Cool Baranca's only previous win came in a claimer at Ayr 18 months ago. Stablemate TALK OF SAAFEND is also on a long losing run but she ran well in better company last season off higher marks and could be the one to beat today, though Wiseman's Diamond is back on a winning mark and will be all the better for a recent run at Pontefract.
