RIVER SPRITE improved out of the blue to win here earlier in the month. She was slightly unlucky at Chelmsford last time when drawn wide and caught too far back and a return to this C&D could see her regain the winning thread. Great Colaci is a regular over 7f here and looks worth trying again up a furlong. Blazing Dreams is edging down the weights and has a decent each-way chance.
