Spy In the Sky is Flat-bred and makes more appeal than fellow newcomer In On The Act in this bumper. Hot Madras and Illusionary Star showed little on debut but What About Molly was third in a point-to-point earlier this month and won't lack fitness. THREE FACES WEST is another convert from that sphere and should be ready for this, though he hasn't raced since winning at Largy in April 2013 - he gets the vote.
