Plenty of these have form at the track including ORWELLIAN. The latter can race off a 5lb lower mark back on the all-weather despite scoring at Newcastle three weeks ago and can go in again on such favourable terms. Both Putin and Arabian Flight are weighted to go close off their current marks and Munaawib makes more appeal than Day Star Lad over today's trip. Black Vale went close in a seller here back in June but Spitfire's course wins have all came over 6f.
