Racing Spirit is 0-21 but was placed in a higher grade at Ludlow. Too Much To Ask probably deserves a change of luck but a similar comment applies to Eolian, who makes more appeal. Talkingpicturestv and Fontwell second My Lady Grey are worth considering but BLUE N YELLOW left previous form behind when successful at Exeter and may be hard to beat if reproducing that effort over the extra half-mile.
