Kings Apollo has scored over track and trip but never on ground this quick. The going may also count against Saint Raph and Trillerin Minella but Oliver's Hill is a possibility having shown improvement on his second start over fences at Doncaster. HEAD SPIN does nothing in a hurry but Jeremiah McGrath is likely to try and make all on Seamus Mullins' eight-year-old and he is capable of making his rivals work hard under a feather weight.
