Verdict
SPRYT is back on a winning mark and went close at Lingfield last time. He can go one better in this lower grade. Royal Melody finished a close-up fourth at Chepstow but has a bit to prove over this longer trip while Blyton Lass has been thereabouts of late as she looks for her first win. Ainne was still beaten seven lengths when third at Wolverhampton last time but is one of the least exposed and preferred to Demophon.
