Made a winning seasonal debut when successful by a neck over 6f at Ripon (good) in April. Couple of decent efforts in defeat since but needs to bounce back down in trip following a heavy defeat on soft ground at Chester earlier this month.
Victorious by ½L when taking a 6f handicap on good-to-firm ground here early last month. Struggled on soft ground here subsequently and has won over this C&D in the past.
C&D winner finished a well held fifth in a soft ground 5f handicap at Haydock last time out. Better ground forecast should suit and market support would be notable.
Ran well to finish 2L fifth in a C&D handicap on soft ground three weeks ago. Better ground forecast here no issue and he is one for the shortlist in this contest.
Returned to the winners enclosure when victorious over this C&D on good-to-firm ground early last month. Given a short break since and is a notable runner despite a 5lb rise in the weights.
C&D winner was winning for the seventh time when victorious over this trip on good-to-firm going at Pontefract just over a month ago. Leading player off a 3lb higher mark.
C&D winner has shown fair form in three starts so far this campaign including when fourth on soft ground at Pontefract (5f) last time out. Races off a mark 5lb lower than for his most recent victory.
Forecasts
Only Spoofing (7/2), Dapper Man (4/1), Wrenthorpe (4/1), Spirit Of Wedza (5/1), Zig Zag Zyggy (11/2), Move In Time (7/1), Bossipop (17/2)
SPIRIT OF WEDZA looks capable of following up last months C&D victory with a success in this competitive small field handicap. The selection can get the better of fellow last time out winner Dapper Man who has the forecast underfoot conditions to suit while third place can go to Wrenthorpe who ran well in defeat on his most recent appearance.
