Verdict

Vincenzo Coccotti has now been beaten twice off this mark after gaining his fourth track victory in October though just holds Rockesbury, who had beaten him previously, on their 1-2 that day. Valentine Blues has been dropped just enough to get into this handicap and she showed a bit more dash at Kempton but SPREADSHEET looks the one to beat. Still a maiden after 11 starts, he started the season belatedly in June and is now on a 22lb lower mark despite a much better run at Lingfield. Aguerooo has won eight times but is on a very long losing run.
