Captain Ryan, Jaganory and Lucky Clover came home second, third and fifth here in mid-June with only a nose separating second and third. There should be little between them once again but the topweight is something of a standing dish here and also more consistent of them Nevertheless, STAFFA is an interesting opponent in a race crammed with exposed handicappers with only seven starts in three seasons and showed improved form the last day to land a small Lingfield all-weather sprint. She'd gone well at that venue previously on Turf and could prove on the upgrade. Double Spin could well do better now attentions are turned to handicaps and is respected along with well-treated Ask The Guru under the talented David Egan.
