Spirit Power is 2-2 here but out of sorts at present. La Roca Del Fuego has done all of his winning at Chelmsford and has yet to place here with SMOKEY more versatile. Charlie Wallis’ four-year-old has won on Polytrack, Fibresand and Tapeta and has slipped back to a decent mark with an inside draw a bonus. Berrtie won on Polytrack and Turf in June and finished ahead of recent Lingfield winner Persaria here in the same month so is not without a chance if back to his best.
