Vincenzo Peruggia (15/8), Circle Of Magic (2/1), Strength of Spirit (5/2), Act Of Honor (14/1), Della Pace (16/1), Dunkeld Dreamer (80/1)
It may well have been a seller STRENGTH OF SPIRIT landed at Chester 22 days ago, yet the bare margins involved wildly underestimate Karl Burke's colt superiority that day, and returned to a novice with a wide-open feel, he could well be up to confirming the impression made then. Vincenzo Peruggia and Circle of Magic are both likely improvers from their respective debuts and rate next best. Debutantes Act of Honor and Della Pace both command a market check.
