Narrowly beaten in the Great St Wilfrid over track and trip last month, SPINATRIX can land this with a similar effort. He finished just ahead of Confessional on that occasion with Supplicant, Kimberella, Clear Spring and Bondesire all further behind. Confessional has a chance of reversing the form on better terms but Avon Breeze and The Hooded Claw are up in class and Barkston Ash has lost his form of late. Angus Og won a lower grade sprint here back in May but Seeking Magic has struggled in similar company to this so far this year.
