Spirit Glance was placed three times at Dundalk last season and was fourth on her first start for new connections over 7f here last week. This slight drop in distance might suit and she should be thereabouts while Cee Jay was beaten less than a length over this trip at Lingfield last month, though has been unlucky with the draw. BROMLEY CROSS makes his debut at a modest level and there is enough in his pedigree to suggest the Dandy Man gelding will go close as his stable is already in form. Rhythm And Blues and Southwell fourth Graceful Favour are likely improvers.
