Verdict
The veteran Mambo Spirit scored easily over track and trip three weeks ago but is upped in class off an 8lb higher mark. Noverre To Go went close at Salisbury last time and can race off the same mark while course and distance winner Star Fire is not out of this dropping back down a grade. But GROUNDWORKER makes a quick reappearance having been caught in the closing stages on the Turf course at Lingfield just four days ago and it could pay to give Sylvester Kirk's charge another chance in this. Angelito is another to consider in this company off his current mark.
