      In depth

      Verdict

      Spinaround made an encouraging return behind the useful Big Rob at Huntingdon earlier this month and, in receipt of weight all round, he makes plenty of appeal and gets the vote ahead of Rooster's Reunion and Stance. The last mentioned stepped up on his reappearance effort when a well held second behind Nayodabayo at Sandown last time and has to be respected on that evidence but, along with Jericho III who is likely to need the run anyway, he probably has too much weight. David Wintle's Lord Lington has run with credit in two recent outings and has to be respected although a bigger threat may come from recent Worcester winner Rooster's Reunion but a 5lb higher mark does leave him with more to do. Spinaround looks well tread though and he gets the vote to take advantage of his light weight.
