This looks a better renewal than last year when Ailsa Craig got the better of Fishforcompliments. They're both back for another try and the latter may come out best this time with Laura Barry's claim aiding his cause. However, a couple of progressive four-year-olds take the eye with QUITE SPARKY preferred to Munsarim. The former went close off today's mark at York after scoring at Thirsk last month and a first-time visor could bring about further improvement. The latter is also going the right way but drops back in trip here after his recent victory at Newcastle. Champagne Style continues to slide down the weights without getting any closer to winning, but Marjury Daw did much better last time and could figure off her current mark.
