Spirit Of Rowdown remains in fine form and finished in front of Arthur's Angel before going close again here a fortnight ago. We Still Believe is upped in class after scoring at Newcastle on his handicap debut while Woodview placed in a lower grade contest at Kempton and has been raised 5lb. MUSAYTIR (NAP) faced a more difficult task upped to a mile at Newcastle for his handicap bow but ran well for second. Richard Fahey’s unexposed grey looks the one to side with in this grade with more to come over today’s trip.
