Verdict

LENNY’S SPIRIT won over track and trip under Sophie Smith on his penultimate start and ran well again last time. Ross Birkett was on board when Mrs Meader won over a longer trip here last autumn and is preferred to At Liberty, who scored on fast ground at Haydock last month. Alazwar and Change Of Fortune are upped in distance having both slipped down the weights.
