Four of these are previous course and distance winners but this is a much better race than the one in which Fairway To Heaven was beaten at Lingfield in March. GORING goes well fresh so his absence since September should not be a problem. He won here in August and is only a couple of pounds higher on his reappearance. King Of Spin found some form last summer and can be forgiven his reverse at Lingfield on his final start as that was over further. The race-fit Pretty Bubbles and Artscape are other to consider in an open-looking heat along with Morache Music.
