Verdict
Cosway Spirit is a tricky ride but almost followed up his Towcester victory at Huntingdon next time. Milly Malone won easily at Taunton at the start of the month but the handicapper has raised her a staggering 22lb, which looks excessive. Sir Lynx has only gone up 4lb for winning at Market Rasen but The Last Bridge is getting little respite and will probably find a couple too good again. Donapollo has yet to prove he stays this far and likewise Moorlands George but stamina won't be an issue for MUSICAL WEDGE. He's staged something of a revival lately and, dropped 5lb since his latest second over course and distance, must go well if still in the mood.
