Verdict
Global Warning failed to land the odds at Kempton last time and is now 11lb higher than when scoring over 6f here earlier. Kind Review won on last year’s card and has subsequently beaten Devil's Angel here. He’s penalised for last week’s success over 5f at the track having earlier finished behind Storm Over when the latter also beat Giogiobbo and Athollblair Boy. But SPARTAN FIGHTER has now won two of his last three outings on Tapeta and still has room for further improvement having been rated 94 when joining Antony Brittains’ yard in the autumn of last year.
