EMPEROR SPIRIT (2) returned after a year-long absence to record a credible nose second behind the re-opposing ALMATY STAR (7). Former is worse off at the weights but could show significant improvement for fitness while the latter enjoys these conditions and cannot be dismissed from the same yard. CINQUE VERDE (4) was denied a hat-trick when downfield at Bath. Better judged on a 5f success at Lingfield prior. Contender. STAR OF LADY M (3) holds each way claims following a third at Haydock Park.
