ALFIE SPINNER can follow up his seasonal debut success at Wincanton last month by taking this staying chase. The veteran appears to have been revitalised by his change in trainer and has been placed off a 5lb higher mark in his youth. Cyclop was still travelling well when falling four from home on that occasion and having placed in competitive events here (races off a 1lb lower mark today) and at Fontwell in his two previous starts he can claim second while Chase The Spud can put a poor run behind him at Cheltenham last month by taking third. 1. Alfie Spinner 2. Cyclop 3. Chase The Spud
