Arthur's Spirit is penalised for his victory at Kempton and couldn't cope when stepped up in grade at Chester though he ran well for a long way and this looks more his class. THE GREAT HEIR made a promising start at Thirsk and led for a long way over Beverley's stiff track three weeks ago so should be suited here and can hold on. The filly Essenza chased the leaders all the way at Ripon and stayed on nicely. She'll have come on for the experience and looks certain to get into contention. Tick Tock Croc showed some pace before fading at Beverley and should do better while Pritty Livvy has a very speedy pedigree and is one to note.
