Verdict

Kevin Morgan's bumper horses are usually worth noting so Numerology could be capable of better than he's showed so far. Floral Spinner made a winning debut on soft ground at Worcester but was never in the hunt in a better race at Newton Abbot next time. This represents a drop in class and she should be in the shake-up while Petie McSweetie showed a bit of potential between the flags and those who supported him into favouritism at Stratford last month will be wanting their money back. Royal Native made a promising start on Polytrack at Lingfield and should be better suited by today's quicker ground after disappointing on softer going but it's RICH MAID who gets the vote as her second to Showmanship at Fakenham in October was a very good run and she didn't quite take to Polytrack on her next start.
