Chilworth Bells won a seller at Thirsk back in September and comes out best at the weights. She will likely prove the one to beat if handling the surface but there are no doubts about INVINCIBLE WISH acting at the track. He finished runner-up over course and distance at last week's meeting and, unless the lightly-raced Striking Stone shows a big improvement, Brian Ellison's charge should have no trouble dispatching the remainder on today's terms.
