SPINNING WEB had been in fine form over hurdles before reverting with two very good runs over further then landing a course and distance handicap. The only three-year-old in the race he is taken to defy a 6lb rise. Unterberg had shown nothing before a much-improved effort over the extended 1m2f here last month and should have more improvement in him. Nusra was having his tenth start on the track when scoring for the first time last month with Sand Castle beaten just under four lengths. The latter will be 10lb better off so should get competitive while Pinball Wizard stepped up to 1m2f when narrowly beaten last time and runs from a mark he should be winning from soon.
