In depth
Verdict
Amber Spark is a northern raider who always looked likely to land the spoils at Newcastle and should go close if able to replicate recent improvement back on Turf. He's clearly a better horse upped to 7f but STAR TERMS (NAP) has progressed with each of her three runs and always looked in control of the Newbury maiden she landed last month, despite the relatively small margin of victory - she can follow up that Berkshire success. Roxy Art progressed from previous starts to land a decisive Chelmsford victory and must be respected, along with Forcetoreckon. The latter is coming along nicely and receives a healthy amount of weight all round.
