WATER SPRITE doesn't have much all-weather experience but arrives here in very good form after Tuesday's easy victory at Killarney. She'll go up by more than the 5lb penalty she carries and should complete a quick double. Raydari hasn't won on the Flat for over two years but has dropped to a very workable mark and will be difficult to keep out of the frame. Bomber Jackson has been very consistent though his best form has been over 1m2f while Armed Guard is on a lower mark than when dead-heating here in December.
