Verdict
Cosway Spirit has done all his winning at Towcester so far, including his latest start. He has been raised 14lb for that success and another recent winner in CLUBS ARE TRUMPS is preferred. The betting suggested he would leave his previous form behind over track and trip last time and he duly obliged on only his second start over fences. He is also preferred to Murty's Delight, who looks to be treading water off his current mark, while Bebinn has over four lengths to find with the selection on latest running.
