THE BLACK SQUIRREL showed enough on debut at Stratford to think a race like this is well within his compass, and he can take advantage of the bit of weight he gets from Drumlynn and Spice Girl here. Warren Greatrex has a great record in bumpers here and that sways the vote in his favour. Drumlynn may well prove the danger as he looked useful at Worcester and should progress. Spice Girl has done well but it's asking a lot for a four year old filly to give the weight away.
