MISS SPENT (NAP) travelled strongly and quickly went clear of toiling rivals at Uttoxeter on her first start for Dan Skelton on Friday. It is no surprise to see her turned out again quickly under a penalty as she still looks well handicapped. Prussian Eagle went up 8lb for winning at Ffos Las last month but Golden Birthday was taking on better opposition here last time. Sleep Easy is still looking a few pounds too high.
