Verdict
The usual guessing game with sprinters applies here as to which one will run up to their best. Ridgeway Hawk did that last time when he beat Gracie's Gift over C&D but he races off a career high mark as a result, while Dickie La Davoir would go very close if repeating last month's defeat of Ingleby Arch in a claimer at this track. Ace Of Spies is another with past form to figure, but a chance is taken that it's SUDDENLY SUSAN's turn today as she's been running well at Wolverhampton of late and ran out a five length winner over track and trip in December.
