Most of the leading contenders handle soft going. Wrenthorpe has been raised 5lb for winning at Nottingham and is upped in class but Mighty Spirit placed off today’s mark at York last time. Came From The Dark struggled over 6f at York on his latest start and will appreciate the return to the minimum trip but ISHVARA gets another chance having gone close behind stablemate Blue De Vega in this grade at Leicester earlier in the month. Orvar ran below par in soft ground when last in action but beat Wrenthorpe at Chester back in August.
