        Verdict

        Global Spirit scored on his only visit here in April and is surprisingly 1lb lower despite being headed on the line at Ripon. However, TANGLED (NAP) was very unlucky in that race having been repeatedly denied a clear run and can reverse the form and land this. He'd earlier finished behind Jackhammer when the latter won at Carlisle but took a fierce hold. Jewel Maker went up 4lb for landing a Class 5 handicap at Carlisle, with Little Jo two lengths behind, and disappointed at Haydock while it's over two years since Frankelio gained his last victory in a course and distance handicap.
