Verdict
Mambo Spirit won twice over C&D last year and is holding his form well. He has claims along with Bond Fastrac and Jungle Bay, who were both placed on their latest outings. But The Strig looks a shade high in the weights now, as does Speak The Truth, while Qubuh only just got the better of Lastkingofscotland at this track in November and that pair are closely matched. A chance is taken on BLACK CADILLAC as this Bath maiden winner is likely to have progressed since he was last seen at the track in June and this won't take much winning.
