Verdict
Spin Cast has every chance at the weights but disappointed here on Wednesday and steps up in distance today. Ay Tay Tate won a similar event over C&D last month beating Rowan Ridge a head and the latter had earlier fallen victim by three lengths to Eagle Nebula, who looks a leading contender on that form, but the vote goes to KAMES PARK. Richard Guest's veteran has been running consistently well in handicaps of late without success and can make the most of today's drop in class. Cantabilly and Robby Bobby are up against it on these terms and hard to fancy.
