Though it was soft going when Orion's Bow returned to winning ways at Hamilton last week, he is effective on this quicker surface and still well treated despite a penalty. Spring Romance came back to form last month and is another to consider. Equiano Springs has form in better company but Cool Spirit is having a first run since scoring at Hamilton in May. Rasheeq has been competing at a much lower level and is worth opposing but there are possibilities about veteran Russian Realm, who is thrown in on his best form. TRICKY DICKY is much improved this year and may be able to go one better that at Pontefract at the start of the month, despite a further 2lb rise.
