SPARTAN TIMES didn't have to be at his best when cosily landing a cross-code hat-trick at Ffos Las last month and could still be ahead of the handicapper. He looks a better horse on ground with give and marginally gets the vote given the unsettled forecast. Sophiesticate is readily preferred as the main danger having been unlucky not to win over C&D last time. Of the rest, Wyld Bill could still be improving.
