Cosway Spirit landed a double at Towcester last month but has been raised 14lb for his latest win. That's not to say he won't figure once again, but ACCORDINGTOPALM makes more appeal. He finally showed some improvement for a tumble down the weights when third at Ffos Las earlier this month and has been dropped another 3lb. Mic Aubin has a shout on his earlier placed efforts while Bringewood Belle beat The Last Bridge over 3m here on Easter Monday and should go well again despite a penalty.
