Formscan - SPIT SPOT was a comfortable winner over this course and distance last month and a 7lb rise might not prevent the consistent six-year-old form expanding on her burgeoning record at this venue. The hat-trick seeking Stiletto is another must for the shortlist, especially with Sean Bowen retaining the ride. However, this is a stiffer test for the gelding and more is required off a career-high mark. Blakey Boy is of low-mileage and can also figure.
