Verdict

LORD SPENCER (3) has been so much more consistent this year, and he has always been a dashing jumper, so he now has the stamina to compliment that ability over the steeples. He was too good on the first day, and has to be hard to beat again. BRUCIE (5) warmed up late here behind the top pick a week ago, and he will like the extra 6 ¾f of this assignment. His jumping is a lot more consistent now, and he will be hard to hold out again. NEDWIN (2) has been a fantastic performer for such a long time, and he has been placed in this race in the past. He has to carry 154lbs, but won't let you down. PRINCE TURBO (4) will relish really heavy ground, and he doesn't know when to stop. he can ground out another top 3 placing in this. INVISIBLE SPIRIT (7) is another very safe jumper, who battled on gamely for third here last week, and a similar effort will see him in the top 4 again.
