Calvinist was placed over 2m here last time and also finished runner-up over today’s trip here last month. But WITH HINDSIGHT won over 1m6f at Chelmsford early in the year and, after finishing third at the same track last time, Steve Gollings’ charge gets the vote. Galileo's Spear has been thereabouts over longer distances, lately including 2m2f at Southwell last week, while Broadway Dreams finished in front of Raashdy when a close-up fifth over 1m4f here and could go well again. The unexposed Coolspin is having only her second start in this country and is capable of better than she showed here last time.
