      Verdict

      Glory Fighter ended a long losing run with a victory at Catterick but has been raised 8lb and looks vulnerable if attempting to make all once again with stablemate SPRING IS SPRUNG in the field. The latter finished strongly for fourth in a Class 2 sprint at York last month and should be in the mix at the finish with a similar effort. Dickieburd also drops down in class on the back of placing at Epsom and is preferred to Sugar Baby, who landed a lowly Class 6 contest at Thirsk a fortnight ago.
