Verdict

Smooth Spirit gets a change of headgear having won over track and trip last time despite failing to keep a straight line. Prince Rock went close over a mile here recently having won over the same trip earlier with URTZI not beaten far in third. But the latter has subsequently scored over today’s distance and is taken to reverse running having been beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton a week ago. Brunel Charm returns to the all-weather with a shout and is preferred to Clegane.
