MR RED CLUBS (NAP) won here on his penultimate start and went close again last time. He also landed this race last year and Mick Appleby’s charge can confirm last month’s running with Drago. The latter landed a double at the track at the end of last year while Spiritual Star has been thereabouts in both outings since winning here in March. Fairway To Heaven went close in a claimer at Lingfield recently but this looks tougher.
