Verdict

Chan Noir ran better than the bare form suggests when sixth at Newcastle and having already won at Nottingham, the return to turf could see him go close. SPIRIT OF LYRA showed plenty of improvement for her debut fourth when coming home over three lengths clear at Lingfield and is very much on an upward curve. Thanks Harry and Hello You Ten could be the ones to battle for third place.

Top Tip: Spirit Of Lyra (8)
Watch out for: Chan Noir (1)

SPIRIT OF LYRA improved markedly from her debut when winning at Lingfield last time, doing so with plenty in hand. She remains open to further progress over this trip given the nature of that success and looks the one to beat. Chan Noir won at Nottingham on debut before finishing third in a stronger novice at Newcastle under a penalty, and can improve again. Thanks Harry made little impression over 7f on debut but shaped better when droppedd into a sprint, finishing runner-up at Hamilton and should also have more to offer over this trip.
