Spirited Guest has won twice on the all-weather recently though both victories came over 7f. CASTANA DIA (NAP) is preferred as she won a maiden over course and distance before narrowly beaten at Newmarket on her handicap debut and Chris Wall’s filly can go one better with an apprentice taking 5lb off her back. Stay Smart and Invincible Larne scored over shorter trips back in April but both have been beaten over 6f subsequently.
