Spellmaker beat Hamis Al Bin, who is engaged in the previous race, over course and distance a couple of weeks ago. He can confirm running with Dishy Guru and should be in the mix once again. But LITTLECOTE LADY went close to catching Street Power over track and trip on her latest start and Mark Usher's mare gets the vote to go one better. Indus Valley landed the odds here last time when beating subsequent winner Seamster and has plenty of room for further improvement judged on his earlier form, while Volito went close in an amateurs race at Wolverhampton during the week.
