Murdanova won over course and distance last month. He’s upped in class today but an apprentice’s allowance negates a 5lb rise and he should be in the mix once again. SPARE PARTS has been in consistently good form so far this year and went close again last week having won over track and trip before that with Sayesse well beaten. He may prove good enough in this given Rouge Nuage has been off the track since scoring here in December and Newcastle runner-up Nick Vedder was still beaten six lengths. Fast Track and Zylan are upped in trip today and Medici Banchiere has only won a maiden race in 15 outings.
