Spiritual Man is the only course and distance winner in the line-up and he again ran well on a return visit last time. He should get into the action while ENDLESSLY will be having his first start on the surface having made progress to score over 1m4f at Lingfield. He won with a bit in hand that day and today’s longer trip looks certain to suit Olly Murphy’s charge. Lady Mafki took advantage of a tumble down the weights over an extended 2m here in January and is only 2lb higher. Moon of Baroda also won over the latter trip the same month in a better handicap than this so Charles Hills’ grey should get into contention.
