SMOKERINGINTHEDARK may not have been suited by the longer trip when fourth at Musselburgh last time and remains low mileage. He can get back on the winning trail. Lucinda Russell's newcomer Spadestep must be taken seriously, particularly if the market vibes are strong, whilst Kadjar des Mottes should also go well.
