In depth
Verdict
Low grade fare with Casey Banter boasting the only recent winning form having scored over 7f at Yarmouth. He stays this far and should go close again but COMPASS POINT posted his best effort so far when runner-up at Leicester recently and gets the nod in this given Spiced could only manage a disappointing fifth on her handicap debut. The remainder are harder to fancy with the likes of Formiga, Grasmere and Misty Breese all running well before disappointing on their latest starts.
