Not many arrive in decent form and Wally's Wisdom recorded his close-up fourth here back in January. Urban Spirit was narrowly beaten over 2m at Newcastle more recently though his only success so far in 21 attempts came over the latter distance. The veteran YASIR is still up to winning at this level having scored twice at the track last year and, after finishing third over course and distance last time, Sophie Leech’s charge gets another chance. Alacritas looks no nearer winning on her latest moderate effort while Hussar Ballad has lost his way since placing over track and trip in March.
