SPINNING WATERS has been in good form over hurdles recently and returns to the Flat on a very fair mark. He's never won around here but has been placed on several occasions and looks the best option in a low-key opener. Pick of the opposition may be Noah Jameel, who is probably high enough in the weights but has proved a consistent sort on the Polytrack since the turn of the year. Spiritofthemount won this off a higher mark last year but recent efforts don't offer much hope of a repeat.
