A good renewal with Sam Spinner looking for his revenge on Wholestone having not been seen to best effect around Cheltenham in the Stayers Hurdle and finishing fifth off what was a far too sedate pace; it won’t be a surprise to see him make this a far sterner test. Last year’s Sefton winner THE WORLDS END may finally confirm the promise of that now run returned to a course that obviously suits him and spring a little bit of a surprise (wasn’t that far behind Sam Spinner at Cheltenham). Lil Rockerfeller has the form in the book to win this if he comes back to his absolute best while Identity Thief is a very interesting contender if he stays this trip.
