Verdict

SOVEREIGN SPELL had a lot to spare in a Wolverhampton maiden last month. The fourth in that race won last week and the handicapper could have been lenient in leaving this Invincible Spirit colt's mark unchanged. Fellow Wolverhampton maiden winner Albaydaa should have more to offer this season and is second choice ahead of Treanmor and First Legion, who shaped well in a strong York nursery in his previous handicap.
