Spitfire won this last year and is only 1lb higher today. He has leading claims as does HANNAHS TURN. The latter has slipped back to a more reasonable mark having won four times on the Fibresand early in the year and can return to winning ways. All Right Now has been winning off much lower marks on the Turf but is 14lb higher for his return to the all-weather while it's anybody's guess what mood Megaleka will turn up in as she's finished nearer last either side of scoring at Nottingham. Putin is another who pops up when he feels like it and is not badly handicapped on his most recent placed effort at the track.
