BLITHE SPIRIT has run well in this race in the past winning off a higher mark in 2015 and finishing runner-up last season. The selections mark is coming down as a result of some moderate efforts this season but she represents a shrewd yard here and can get the better of last time out winner Queen In Waiting who looks likely to try and make all today. Of the remainder Lucky Beggar ran a fair race here last time out over 6f and can claim third today.
