A few in with chances but SPARTAN TIMES upped his game to make a winning handicap debut in this sphere at Uttoxeter earlier in the month. With a conditional offsetting a subsequent 5 lb rise, Jennie Candlish's 5-y-o is fancied to follow up at the expense of Jamada, who should be well suited by the speed-favouring nature of handicaps at this time of year. Juan Bermudez rounds off the shortlist.
