      Verdict

      More Beau has been running well of late and should be in the mix again and the consistent Inexes also has place claims, but GIANT SPARK should be the one to beat here. He bolted up at Nottingham last time out, suggesting that there’s plenty more to come, and in a weak handicap is capable of defying a 10lb rise. Mass Rally is on a long losing run but retains some ability and Art Obsession could also win off his current mark.
