KYLLUKEY has been thereabouts recently and went close over track and trip last time with Krystallite behind - it could be his turn again today. Spin Top finished ahead of Red Stripes when runner-up at Chelmsford and can race off the same mark here but First Bombardment was impeded in the latter race and should finish much closer. Hamish Mcgonagain has won off higher marks on the all-weather and was placed over 6f here last week while Eternalist is another to consider having also finished third over track and trip at last week’s meeting here.
