Susie Kay, Diamond Key and Sovereign Spirit are the three to look at here, with Susie Kay the selection. Sovereign Spirit has three all weather successes to his credit, and he showed signs of a return to form last time over this trip. He is two pounds lower than his last success and can play a part. Diamond Key was a winner last time, springing a surprise in an apprentice handicap. He had previously landed a seller, but a six pound rise in his rating can prove prohibitive. Susie May benefitted from a step up in trip last time, narrowly beaten at Kempton under today's pilot, Seb Sanders. She took a claimer at Brighton in August, and running off the same mark as when second last time, Susie May can land her second win.
