Richard Fahey and Megan Nicholls teamed up to land this last year so course and distance winner Cool Spirit is respected despite finishing behind Yes You at York. The latter was beaten by Airglow at Catterick last year, however, and also by Lucky Lucky Man at Ayr earlier. Scuzeme is not out of this on ground that will suit and Cale Lane is going well but DANCING RAVE has done all of her winning on soft going and she produced another career-best here a couple of weeks ago. Shelly Birkett can steer David O’Meara’s three-year-old to a fourth career victory.
