Verdict
Wicked Spice has every chance on his latest second in this grade at Newcastle while Five In A Row can race off the same mark as when third at Sedgefield last month. But CARRY ON SYDNEY was only beaten a length in a tougher handicap than this at Newbury last time with Flying Eagle back in third - Oliver Sherwood's charge gets the vote to go one better. Buffalo Ballet and Doktor Glaz made the frame on their latest starts but both are upped in class for this.
