Verdict
Spare Parts won over track and trip earlier in the month with Shyron, Intransigent and Plant Pot Power all finishing behind. But he’d earlier been beaten by Arnarson at Chelmsford and the latter has subsequently run well again at Newcastle. Magic Mirror faces a stiffer task raised 9lb for her latest success having won here three times since October but Poetic Force went close over a mile at this venue last month. UNFORGIVING MINUTE (NAP) drops in class today having just failed to catch the winner at Wolverhampton last time and John Butler’s charge looks to have strong claims on that form.
