SPICE BAR won over today's trip at Ripon in August and has gone close again since. He's been racing over jumps recently but Jason Hart's claim gives him a leading chance back on the Flat. Red Current is another with claims on her second over C&D in October, while Irish raider Sughera was a winner over hurdles on her penultimate start and could also figure along with compatriot Tinas Exhibition. The Drunken Dr would go close if taking part but he was engaged to run at this track yesterday.
