Verdict
Ocean Sheridan may struggle to overcome 6lb extra for winning over track and trip last week though he should should confirm running with third-placed Indego Blues. Chookie's Lass usually finds at least one too good and it was familiar story at Ayr on Monday when runner-up to Compton Heights. Steventon Star continues to slide down the weights and could bounce back at any time and the same comment applies to ENDERBY SPIRIT. The latter went close off a higher mark last season and Bryan Smart's charge gets a speculative vote to end a long losing run.
