Having made a successful reappearance at Aintree in October, ACE OF SPADES confirmed he remains in top form when finishing a very good fourth in a strong-looking race at Haydock 6 weeks ago. Still unexposed at staying trips, he's still very much one to be interested in and shades preference over another likeable sort in the shape of Love of Neymore. Ma Shantou can also figure if shrugging off a lesser display latest.
