Verdict
Fujin won in this lowly grade at Chelmsford last week and is 4lb higher. But HEAD SPACE was runner-up to Bridge Builder in a higher grade sprint over track and trip last Saturday and is taken to go one better confirming running with both Nora Batt and Compton Prince in the process. The latter had earlier beaten Red Invader and Jack The Laird at Kempton but Harmonic Wave ran a shocker when favourite at Newcastle a week ago. For Ayman was well behind Fujin last time but the admirable Desert Strike is not easily dismissed off his current mark despite a couple of recent below par efforts.
