SPARTAN FIGHTER took advantage of a slide down the weights when scoring over track and trip. He was winning off a 5lb higher mark here early in the year and can confirm latest running with both Gowanlad and Blackheath. Royal Advice landed an amateurs’ race at Wolverhampton last week and is penalised while Hart Stopper went close when last racing over track and trip and has wind surgery since. Burrows Seeside has the more recent form here and is preferred to Patsy Fagan and Global Humor.
