Grand Theft Equine is still without a win though not from lack of trying and he went close again at Lingfield last time. West Leake has decent claims back over a mile while Spirit Of Xaar and Warbond are closely matched on recent running here bur Divine Rule failed to follow-up an earlier win over track and trip when sixth off today's higher mark last time and Whitstable Native was well beaten on his previous attempt at today's longer distance. MISHRIF is looking to end a long losing run but today could be the day. John Jenkins' charge went very close off today's mark over 7f here last week and Richard Hughes takes over the reins for this.
