Spirit Power has won three times since landing this last term including at Newcastle recently and is upped a further 4lb. Becker beat Creek Harbour less than a length at Wolverhampton last time with Dark Side Dream well behind and remains on a winning mark but EQUALLY FAST makes most appeal. The latter had just the one outing last year and returned to action with a victory at Lingfield earlier this month. Ron Harris’ charge looked to win with something to spare on that occasion and can go in again. Andre Amar has only won a maiden so far though has quickly tumbled down the weights and drops in class today.
