It took Spinart 18 attempts to open his account having just prevailed over 7f at Yarmouth in August. But it could be the turn of OSKEMEN to register his first success today given he just missed out at Kempton last time when attempting to make all - he gets the nod. Celtic Artisan won here last month but found Baashiq too good over track and trip last time and the latter has been beaten since while Straight Ash is proving best on Turf. New Orleans is usually thereabouts at this level without winning.
