A tricky getting-out stakes but Newcastle winner Nuns Walk is probably open to further improvement. Space War was gambled on last time at Chelmsford while Spirit of Zebedee arrives in good form, though is still creeping up the weights. Rapid Ranger wouldn’t be winning out of turn and a case could also be made for Point Of Woods. Ypres also goes on the short-list and Meandmyshadow can reverse Newcastle form with Lucky Lodge but SEMANA SANTA (NAP) has form here and appears to be back on-song so gets the nod.
