Absolute Dream won at Hamilton a fortnight ago and remains on a winning mark while Explorers Way scored over track and trip last time when beating Mr Strutter a length. But SPIRIT OF BOWLAND completed a hat-trick on Tapeta earlier in the year and looks worth sticking with on his return given the ease of his latest success. Masham Moor has a bit to find with the selection and was also beaten by Pop Favorite here last month.
