Things didn’t go well for TONTO’S SPIRIT on his latest visit but the veteran is a course specialist and he can surely do better this afternoon. We'll Go Again has a record of just 1-19 under this code though the punters have been keen to be with him and the cheekpieces go on today. Pittsburg has had a profitable August with victories at Perth and Market Rasen and he holds cogent claims on a hat-trick bid. Jackhammer was behind him on the former occasion despite the market being positive and cannot be dismissed lightly. Arbennig is fresh from a Worcester success and is clearly in great heart at present. Roccos Storm returns following a wind surgery.
