Verdict
QUINDER SPRING is progressing well and is fancied to defy a penalty and complete his hat-trick. He had shaped as though he would appreciate a step up in trip when winning at Hexham and duly confirmed that impression when running on strongly to score at Market Rasen and should relish this run-in. Club Class held on well to make a winning debut over fences and is open to improvement as he switches to the handicap ranks. Lockstown may have needed his two outings following a lengthy absence and may be able to get closer to More Equity and Top It All who finished in front of him here last time. King Penda has no easy task against experienced campaigners as he's switched to fences but he's bred for this game and would have to be of interest if the market spoke in his favour.
