        Verdict

        Street Parade’s victory in this last year is his only win on the all-weather so far after 21 attempts while both Josies Kid and Mick‘s Spirit won lower grade sprints over track and trip last time and that pair are hard to separate. But DIOMED SPIRIT took advantage of a slide down the weights back on the all-weather at Wolverhampton and can defy a rise. So Sleepy placed at Lingfield having won here earlier and is not out of this.
