Back in Spirit was an impressive winner over the minimum trip here in May, but has been well beaten twice since then on turf and has plenty to do under top weight. Yarrita is tough, winning at Catterick and on this track in the spring and making the frame in five of her other seven races. She was a close second here recently over 6F and should appreciate this extra furlong. Buster Brown made a successful debut at Southwell in April, beating Red Fred by three parts of a length and can confirm the form, having finished fourth on turf twice since then. He could be on a fair mark and looks good each-way value. To Be Fare disappointed on his debut at Ripon, but landed a touch in a seller at Yarmouth and can go well off this mark, while Polka Princess was behind Yarrita here in April, but has won her last two races on this track. Both were sellers and she changed hands for 3,000 gns the second time. Miss Ocean Monarch was bought for 6,400 gns after winning a seller at Beverley for M Channon and is now with a shrewd yard which does well on the sand.
