Verdict

SPIRIT LEAD ME has been transformed since returning to the all-weather after struggling on turf, tanking along and winning readily at Southwell with cheekpieces. Epictetus hasn't won for over two years but may improve with more conservative tactics over this trip. Tribal Wisdom is a consistent performer with two course wins and was fourth at Southwell just 4 days ago.
