Forecasts

Match Play (2/1), Torfrida (7/2), A Girl Named Ivy (9/2), Missmimi (6/1), Candy Warhol (11/1), Dandy Fitz (12/1), Holbache (14/1), The Vital Spark (16/1), Crafty Spirit (50/1)

Verdict

THE VITAL SPARK hasn't stood much racing but did win over this trip following a break on penultimate start and he can repeat the feat here following a breathing operation. Torfrida posted a solid effort when runner-up over C&D on reappearance and would be a danger if bouncing back to that sort of form, while Dandy Fitz is better than he was able to show last time and could be worth another chance.

  1. THE VITAL SPARK
