SPIRIT OF ALBION (7) was in contention all the way and fought on for second last start over 1600m at Goodwood, making it three minor placings in a row. Faces an easier assignment so he is one of the main contenders. SPECIAL GHAIYYATH (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Windsor over 1630m after being prominent from the outset. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. WAR SUPREMO (8) tackled a turf track for the first time last start and finished third, beaten 5 lengths, over 2000m at Redcar. Hard to fault after that fine effort last time. SONG BROCADE (10) ended up 7 lengths behind the winner in seventh on debut last start over 2000m at Goodwood. Plenty of scope for improvement. Can improve.
