Verdict
Tonto's Spirit prefers sharper tracks like Cartmel and Slanelough only won a match at Newcastle but Joke Dancer remains potentially well treated despite beating two rivals at Kelso three weeks ago. Miss Amelia is a previous course and distance winner and will strip fitter for a recent third at Wetherby but WHEELBAHRI is clearly improving at a rate of knots and he may well defy a further 11lb hike in the ratings to complete the five-timer.
