Bronze Beau ended a two year barren spell when scoring at Leicester but Phoenix Clubs is weighted reverse earlier running at Hamilton with the top weight. SPYKES BAY makes more appeal as he was rated 8lb higher at this time last year and after returning to winning ways at Carlisle last time, Elaine Burke's charge is taken to defy a 6lb rise and follow-up. Mey Blossom found the selection too good on her latest start but should be thereabouts again although Mr Mo Jo and Red Cape look high enough in the weights at present. Commanche Raider won last year's renewal off a slightly lower mark and has claims after posting a better effort on his latest outing.
