Mick's Spirit won with plenty to spare over today’s distance at Lingfield last month but the handicapper has taken no chances and raised him 9lb. INTERVENTION won over 6f here three days ago and is penalised but this is only his second outing over the minimum trip and Mick Appleby’s charge looks worth sticking with. Amazing Amaya is usually in the mix without winning while Mutabaahy is still looking to take advantage of a slide down the weights and Red Walls and Scale Force are back on winning marks.
