In depth
Verdict
CLUB HOUSE won three times here over the winter and is only a pound higher than the last of those victories back on the surface. A fair second on Turf at Nottingham last month, Robert Mills' gelding can return to winning ways. Oasis Spirit is back in the right grade and has experience of the Polytrack while this is Kempton third Lucky Di's best trip, though she is no certainty to confirm recent running with Broughton's Charm. Pivotal Movement showed little on his all-weather debut in June and is best watched here.
