      Verdict

      Several with claims but SMOOTH SPIRIT was narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton on only his second start of the year and should be spot on now. He’s taken to go one better in this though Gosnay Gold also arrives with a chance having returned a losing favourite at Epsom. Saunton posted a better effort at Leicester having slipped down the weights while Granary Queen placed over 6f at the latter track and is preferred to George Scott and Sunset of the remainder.
