Verdict

DANDY SPIRIT made the perfect start for his new yard when scoring over C&D last week and still looks weighted to go in again after that much-improved showing on his first go at the minimum trip. Recent course winner Too Hard To Hold looks the one to give him most to do despite a 4 lb rise, and in-form maiden Bluepower rates a solid place prospect.
