Verdict

Stratford winner The Winking Prawn couldn't cope with his new mark at Southwell next time. Worcester third Perspicace still looks too high in the weights but stable companion Skylander is gradually getting there while Well Rewarded should be winning once the ground turns. Absolutlyfantastic is a regular here and has had a recent run on the Flat while Kublai won at Fontwell in April and is probably capable of better this winter. But TOP SPIN (NAP) looks the pick of the weights on his form in Ireland is sure to improve on his first start for new connections at Market Rasen.
