INVIOLABLE SPIRIT (NAP) ran well for third over today’s trip at York a fortnight ago and drops down a grade for this. Richard Fahey’s charge can come out best and confirm latest running with Prestbury Park in the process. The latter is better than his York run suggests and can figure but Iron Sky also looks a threat on a recent second at Catterick and can race off the same mark. I Know How has won a maiden race over 6f here and makes his handicap debut today.

I Know How (IRE) 10-3 (9-0) Chased leading trio, ridden inside final 2f, went 3rd over 1f out, kept on inside final furlong, never going pace to challenge, 3rd of 5, 2l behind Walk On Walter (9-0) at Pontefract 6f stks (5) gf in Jul.
