The progressive Giant Spark won four times last year but returns to action off a 6lb higher mark than when scoring at Navan on October. Glenrowan Rose also has her first start of the year having landed a double back in May. But DUBAI ONE (NAP) has a more recent winning double after adding a win at Wolverhampton to an earlier success over 5f at this venue. The Godolphin filly has won over today’s trip before and is taken to continue her good progress in this. Captain Dion can figure back over 6f and Elysian Flyer wasn’t beaten that far when fourth over track and trip on his reappearance.
