Forecasts

Humble Spark (10/11), Percy Willis (5/2), Show No Fear (4/1), Illucidate (14/1)

Verdict

HUMBLE SPARK showed a superb turn of foot to get himself out of trouble here 11 days ago and remains of strong interest up 2 lb in what is likely to be another tactical affair. Percy Willis was a good second here last week and is the obvious threat.
