Captain Ryan was winning at Bath for the fifth time earlier this month but has yet to score anywhere else. SPIRIT OF ROSANNA has shown a bit more recently including when runner-up over track and trip last time. She may prove good enough in this ahead of Putemintheboot, placed in soft ground at Leicester last week. Diamond Vine was ahead of Secret Witness when winning at Lingfield in May but the latter re-opposes on better terms while the selection’s stablemate Smart Dj showed signs of a return to form when placed at Wolverhampton on his latest start.
