Verdict
Little better than plating class here and PERLY SPENCER is our pick with Action Spirit and Vulcan Point others to make the short list. George Moore's charge had bits and pieces of form in Ireland before joining his current trainer. He probably didn't get home at Sedgefield having travelled well to a point. In a weak affair, he has less negatives than most. Action Spirit was last seen out when trained by Paul Blockley. He acts well on fast ground. Vulcan Point showed nil over hurdles though his yard are in excellent form at present. Ours went backwards at a rate of knots when trained by Nick Gifford. With Mark Rimell wearing the trainer's cap, a market watch is advised. Vibe is often sent off at short odds but his win record of 1-46 says it all. Moscow Gold has exhibited form in the past albeit sporadically. Faraday has had a couple of pipeopeners on the flat before making today's chasing debut. Not an event to be pedantic about and Perly Spencer is taken to oblige.
