Verdict
Another open looking event that can go the way of Prospect Court at the expense Divine Spirit and Royal Composer. The selection carries a six pound penalty for his latest win at Newcastle on very soft ground. He had previously finished an eye catching second of seventeen at Carlisle. He comes here in fine fettle and connections must be keen to run before the handicapper gets a chance to reasess his mark so he one horse to stay on the right side of. Divine Spirit keeps knocking on the door but is failing to be let in as he has had a string of placed efforts this season without getting his head in front. The ground will not pose a problem to him but he is likely to find one too good once more. Royal Composer wears blinkers for the first time to sharpen him up. He has run with credit finishing an eye catching second of fourteen last time out so is worth noting in the market. But for the winner we return to Prospect Court as the likely winner.
