If Triple Distilled appears again unpenalised for his 7f win at York in an apprentice race late yesterday afternoon he may have enough in hand to overcome an awkward draw such was the style of his win especially in what looks a weak heat. Working on the basis that connections may choose to avoid a quick return SPIRIT OF MAY is the suggestion with the advantage of stall 1 and plenty of early pace he could be hard to peg back. Based on his form with Triple Distilled Tin Hat has to enter the argument although he had much the better of the run of the race at Newmarket last time. Friendly Advice and Abate are two others likely to be involved in the shake-up.
