The going was a legitimate excuses for Barbrook Star at Ascot in January. Spider's Bite would have an excellent chance on last season’s form but hasn’t shown a lot in two runs this term. Quite By Chance is hard to catch right nowadays with a similar comment applying to Aubusson and Air Navigator hasn’t been firing. LE BOIZELO has been dropped a couple of pounds since his third at Newbury and that may have opened the door for Robert Walford’s charge to regain the winning thread as he placed twice off today’s mark last season. Waikiki Waves has struggled since his winning run was ended while this looks a tough ask for the maiden Broadclyst.
