Plenty with claims including recent course and distance winner PENTLAND LAD. The latter was having his second start after wind surgery when beating the re-opposing Hi Ho Silver and there should be more to come from him. Spanish Mane returned to winning ways over a mile here last month and is not badly treated on last year’s victory over track and trip while Holy Tiber ended a long losing run at Leicester on her first outing after a wind operation and is 5lb higher. Kraka also won at Leicester last time but over 6f and has had 16 previous attempts over today’s distance without success.
