CAINHOE STAR went very close over track and trip on his penultimate start and a repeat effort should see him thereabouts at the finish again in this company. The progressive Spare Parts is upped a grade under a penalty for scoring at Wolverhampton while Arnarson remains 8lb higher than his earlier success at the same track. Loyalty finished behind the selection last time but Time To Reason won off a higher mark when trained in Ireland and could go well with an apprentice taking 7lb off his back today.
