Verdict
Spygate attempted to make all over 6f at Thirsk last time but just failed and this drop down in distance seems a logical move. But ASMUND has been narrowly beaten over the minimum trip in both starts to date and Karl Burke’s colt will appreciate any cut in the ground judged on his debut effort in soft going at York. Rose Bandit showed some ability when placed over track and trip but Star's Daughter and the newcomer Never In Red make less appeal.
