Verdict
ONLY SPOOFING is 7lb lower than when landing this last year and the veteran looked to be coming to hand again at Bellewstown last month. Look Out Louis has his sights lowered a little but Never Dark’s recent victories have come on Tapeta. Ready Freddie Go has been in good form but has never won off a mark this high while neither Looking For Lynda nor Runninwild have sparkled this year. Princess Karine is no forlorn hope, however, though has the worst of the draw.
