Race preview
Dandy Spirit (winner) had the measure of Star Of Aria (second) when winning at Wetherby 12 days ago, but the former must now saddle a 5lb penalty, and it would be no surprise were that form to be reversed. The vote goes to CLOSE QUARTERS, who appeared to wander around under pressure at Doncaster last month before plugging on for a creditable fourth. John Quinn's filly is bred to be far better than her current mark, though, and if first-time blinkers can have the desired effect she could open her account.
