Verdict
Lenny's Spirit was third and last year’s winner Billy Roberts only fifth when Unplugged and Serena Brotherton completed a double at Pontefract last month. The top weight has claims again but has to concede 18lb to HOT TEAM, who has placed off this mark in two of his last three outings and will handle any give in the ground. It’s difficult to make a case for the other pair.
