BLITHE SPIRIT saves her best for the track as when winning last year’s renewal. Only 2lb higher today having run well in the Epsom Dash three weeks ago, Eric Alston’s mare can make another bold bid. Lexi's Hero won over 6f here last time and stablemate Powerallied also has claims while Snap Shots scored over 6f at Haydock but is upped a grade. Majestic Hero remains 8lb higher than an earlier success at Newmarket while Confessional was not disgraced in a tougher sprint at Musselburgh recently having scored at Goodwood before that.
