In depth
Verdict
None of these inspire confidence but SPITFIRE LIMITED showed a big improvement in a classified race at Wolverhampton last time and may show further progress back over 6f today. Dontforgettocall finished behind the selection last time while Termsnconditions has the beating of Krazy Paving on earlier running having landed a double over course and distance back in April. Quite A Story has yet to score on the all-weather though has won off higher marks on Turf before.
