Verdict
SPECTACULAR STYLE has been a spectacular failure so far having cost 625,000gns and twice beaten at odds-on. However, the son of Frankel faces his easiest task to date and should finally got off the mark. Weigh Anchor looks the logical danger having chased home the odds-on Dreams Adozen over slightly shorter here with the remainder well beaten. Fly Awhile Johnny has raced in point-to-points so will have found 1m2f too short at Ripon while Be Rural has been well beaten in both starts.
