Spirit Of Wedza scored over track and trip a fortnight ago with MAJOR VALENTINE back in fourth. But the latter re-opposes on 9lb better terms including an apprentice’s allowance and may well turn the tables in this having won here in December off a similar mark. Malaysian Boleh has been thereabouts over 7f recently and K'gari Spirit attempts 6f for the first time having won over the minimum trip at Chelmsford in January. Aragon Knight has only won a maiden race so far but Cruise Tothelimit has not won anywhere since 2014.
