Verdict
Spoils Of War can only improve on his second at Ayr now upped in trip but could face stiff competition from winning pointer THE BISHOP. Nick Alexander's recent acquisition won easily at Tinahely in January and could be a useful recruit. King Of The Dark has also won between the flags but Major Ridge was beaten a distance when second over 3m here on his hurdling debut. None of the others make much appeal on what they've shown so far.
