A 6lb rise for winning at Thirsk may scupper the chances of Sound Advice. But he beat Osteopathic Remedy and Two For Two easily enough and should still be thereabouts. Dubai Dynamo won this off a higher mark back in 2012 and Ruth Carr's charge finished ahead of Lawyer, due to run at Thirsk yesterday, and King Torus when runner-up in a lower class contest over track and trip last time. But preference is for the consistent WILDE INSPIRATION, raised 4lb for winning in this grade at Haydock last month but looking likely to make another bold bid.
