Six Of Clubs has done all his winning over longer trips and is having his first outing since last May, while Bath winner Spiritonthemount also returns from a lengthy lay-off. Bold Adventure was still beaten 11 lengths when third over C&D early last year and a chance is taken on TOUCAN TANGO. Mick Quinn's lightly-raced four-year-old is open to improvement over today's longer distance having finished fourth to the progressive Sky High Diver at this track last time and is taken to open his account here.
