In depth
Verdict
Spangler is related to winners and Swivelstick is a full brother to a winner over 1m6f. WALTZING has already been gelded but can count a couple of Listed winners among his relatives. Martyn Meade’s newcomer gets a speculative vote given those with experience have yet to look like winning. They include Prison Break, Carnation and Knowwhentorun with preference for the latter given he’d have finished closer at Windsor on his debut if not for being hampered.
