5/6
Presenting gelding who changed hands for £200,000 after runner-up sole start in Irish points last November. Tongue tied and more like it third start under Rules when second at Chepstow in April (23.6f). That sets fair standard for Spitalfield to aim at.

Improved from debut when runner-up in a bumper at Thurles and having joined a top yard for £65,000, progressed further when runner-up twice at this track during the winter. Upped markedly in trip for hurdles debut but bred to stay well.

Fame And Glory mare. Dam, modest maiden hurdler, half-sister to fairly useful hurdle winner/useful chaser (stayed 3¼m) Rath An Iuir. Maiden pointer who looked slow on hurdles debut over C&D 18 days ago.

Forecasts

Not Long Left (5/6), Spitalfield (1/1), Glorious Mist (28/1)

Verdict

SPITALFIELD is bred to stay well so this step up in trip now hurdling promises to suit and, sure to be well prepared for this, he's marginally preferred to Not Long Left, who sets a fair standard.
