Despite the fact he hasn't been the most consistent in recent times and he is 0-17 overall, Spirit Of Ishy would be dangerous to dismiss off such a lowly mark after showing much more to finish fourth at Bath. He may have finished even closer but for suffering a rough time of things late on (short of room and hit on the nose by rival's whip). Similar comments apply to Q Twenty Boy who is also a maiden (0-12) but ran one of his better races when placed at this track two weeks ago. The safest option looks to be JAGANORY though who could be very well handicapped (10lb below last winning mark) after bouncing back to form to finish third at Chepstow just five days ago.
