        Verdict

        Stamina is the key here, with the gutsy Spa Lane taken to repel the challenges of Heir To Be and Alrida, while Windshift may be one for place backers. Spa Lane has been a revelation of late, scoring at Pontefract and Southwell before making a bold bid in defeat at Beverley last time. Although yet to win in class D company, he is in such fine heart at present that he can be relied upon to give his all and rates the value, with Heir To Be likely to go off as favourite. John Dunlop's charge was in good form last season but faced a tough task in the Queen's Prize at Kempton before showing little at Salisbury. That form is quite good though with the winner following up the other day, so an improved show is on the cards. Alrida falls into a similar category, but at a bigger price, Windshift, further down the handicap makes more appeal. Roy Bowring's seven-year-old has been worth following on the all-weather, is not badly treated on turf, and is worth keeping an eye on now that he is stepped back up in trip.
