SPREAD THE RUMOUR (5) last appeared two months ago over 6½f at Northam when he finished eighth. This is his first run for the D R Pateman stable. Key runner who will be tough to beat. THE RUSH (3) hasn't raced since finishing fifth over 7f at Ascot on March 6 and has since switched trainers. Generally runs well when fresh, recording two minor placings from four runs. One of the primary contenders. BOLTA (1) drew wide and was pretty plain last time despite meeting with market support when 4 lengths from the winner in fifth at this course and distance. Natasha Faithfull stays on. Should be involved in the finish. WESTERN IMPACT (8) meets a moderate field and in the money two from six starts at this distance. Should be parked just off the speed Yet to win here but has recorded four places and expected to be competitive.
