        Verdict

        Only Spoofing makes another quick reappearance after competing a hat-trick with something to spare at Hamilton on Wednesday when Mininggold finished sixth. He’s obviously in great nick at present but another 6lb penalty may have tipped him over the edge. ALSVINDER was well backed on his reappearance at Pontefract and travelled strongly for a long way. He’s been dropped 2lb since and can recoup losses. Extrasolar hasn’t been running badly and could figure if coping with the drop back to 5f but could have been better drawn. Suitcase 'n' Taxi looks the pick of the remainder as Mythical Spirit has no form on Turf and the three-year-old Mable Lee might need this.
