Windforpower bids for a course and distance treble but is upped in class off a 5lb higher mark. Fast Act finished well ahead of Entertaining Ben when third over track and trip recently while Hamish Mcgonagain won at Wolverhampton the last time he raced over the minimum trip. Spirit of Zebedee has proved best over 6f to date but ORIENTAL LILLY (NAP) won a more competitive sprint over course and distance at the start of the month and Jim Goldie’s filly should make another bold bid despite a 5lb rise.
