BOND SPIRIT won over track and trip at the start of the year and has placed in all three subsequent outings. Beaten less than a length back here last time, Louise Allan’s charge gets the vote in a weak contest. Pittsburg went close over a shorter trip at Lingfield in March and Foursome has placed off a higher mark here in the past while Blue Hawaii is unexposed on the Flat having won over fences in March.
