SIGURD’s last win came over track and trip a year ago. He is 8lb lower in the weights now and Brian Hughes keeps faith with Joanne Foster’s charge. Midnight Moss could figure if a run at Fontwell has blown away a few cobwebs but Frisco Bay is proving hard to catch right over fences. Lord Sparky does all of his winning at Huntingdon but is probably the pick of the remainder with Here We Have It turning in a shocker last time at Kelso.
