Spiritual Man was narrowly beaten over 1m3f last time while Calvinist scored over 1m4f here and stays this far. Yasir scored over 2m on his latest start and can also figure while the returning Harbour Force could go well with an apprentice’s allowance helping his cause. But FILAMENT OF GOLD has every chance once again having counted both Street Jester and Thahab Ifraj among his victims when scoring over 1m5f at Bath and Roy Brotherton’s charge may just edge this.
