The Great Heir is progressing with each run and was very impressive when landing a York nursery. He's been hit with a 13lb rise but could still be ahead of the handicapper. Leoube is up 12lb for an easy victory over the minimum at Bath and this is much tougher but LEADING SPIRIT is very well handicapped as he's been raised a massive 16lb for last week's Newbury success and can race with a 6lb penalty. He has to be the selection on that basis. Don Armado took a drop in class to score at Nottingham for which a 9lb rise looks a bit harsh while Barend Boy is up 10lb for an easy victory in a Class 5 nursery at Lingfield. Ballistic has only raced over the minimum and has been well supported so stepping up in trip could bring about improvement.
