The drop in trip looks highly likely to suit confirmed front runner SPEREDEK, the gelding has been contesting handicap and novice events over further of late, most recently when weakening three from home at Sandown and he is taken to cause a surprise in this by defeating Contre Tous who had some fair form in France and Wade Harper is the selection to fill the third placed berth.
