A poor-class handicap though several arrive in top form including Hitman who is penalised for last week's victory in slightly better company at Redcar. Mr Potter gained his third all-weather victory at Chelmsford last month though is 0-16 on Turf but TWILIGHT SPIRIT had been threatening to win for some time before getting off the mark at Salisbury and looks progressive enough to complete a double. Noble Ballad scored over the trip at Southwell and is at the right end of the handicap as is Bahamian Paradise, who was having only his sixth start when runner-up at Chelmsford.
