Verdict

A huge field but SPIRIT LEAD ME capitalised on a much-reduced mark at Southwell 11 days ago and while he may not have shown form on turf for some time, Richard Hughes' charge is difficult to resist from this mark. Dalmally got up late on to gain a first handicap success at Brighton last time, so he's feared most now back in the groove, with Sub Thirteen and stable-switcher Sceptic rounding off the shortlist.

2	Belatedly opened his account in handicaps in 9-runner event at Brighton (1m, good to firm) 8 weeks ago, despite not looking the most straightforward under pressure. Up 4 lb and doesn't appeal as a likely candidate to follow up. 2nd Pick 2 Dalmally Jockey: Kieran Shoemark Trainer: Mark Pattinson J: Kieran Shoemark T: Mark Pattinson	84	-	-	-	20%	4/1

8	Fifteen runs since his last win but carried on his run of in-frame efforts despite never really looking like justifying favouritism when fourth of 11 at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) just over 3 weeks ago. On a career-low mark but will probably find a few too good. First-time visor replaces cheekpieces. 3rd Pick 8 Sub Thirteen Jockey: Callum Hutchinson Trainer: Jeremy Scott J: Callum Hutchinson T: Jeremy Scott	86	-	-	-	11%	17/2
