SPITALFIELD has returned from a break in good order, shaping well in second having been held up a race run at a steady gallop over C&D 26 days ago. He holds obvious claims on that evidence provided he continues to keep the errors at bay. Dear Ralphy is a consistent operator on the whole and feared, with Impecunious also worth a second look.
