This won't take much winning and it would be no surprise to see Red Skipper and Worldor get involved if in the mood. Polstar was a little disappointing when only third at Southwell last time but Lions Charge has every chance and the mare Flying Phoenix has been lightly campaigned. SPIN CAST, a winner three times on the Flat, has been raised 4lb since finishing second at Fakenham but Conor Smith's claim takes care of that and he looks the one to beat.
