Nonrunner
Spokesperson only beat Vittachi by a neck here last month and the runner-up is fancied to turn the tables on slightly better terms. Tourtiere has returned from a break in good form, finishing second at Redcar after winning a ladies' race at Ripon. But he's still climbing the weights while Titus Bolt and Moon Arc will be back over hurdles in the near future. ON A PAR may also have a future over jumps but Tim Easterby will be keen to get a race out of him first on the Flat and this looks a good opportunity given he looked ready for a step up in trip when third at Carlisle last month.
