Ask The Guru finished in front of both Midnight Guest and Sandfrankskipsgo when going close at Lingfield last month and has subsequently finished ahead of Firenze Rosa at Brighton. Spot Lite is now back on a winning mark and could figure dropping back down in class but it could be the turn of ROY’S LEGACY once again. Shaun Harris’ charge won off today’s mark earlier in the year and a length defeat over the minimum trip at Lingfield recently suggests a return to winning ways is imminent.
