Verdict
Spoil Me came to win his race at Market Rasen last month but couldn't get past the front-running Long Wave. He's been raised a couple of pounds since but must have every chance dropping back into novice company. Rogue Dancer was beaten less than a length at Huntingdon 11 days ago having won at Uttoxeter in July. He's another for the short-list while Fuse Wire ran a lot better than the market suggested he would at Exeter last week. HERECOMESTHEHOLLOW (NAP) has only had five career starts and is a half-brother to winning chaser Sound Investment and Grade 2 winning hurdler Gagewell Flyer. He's surely a lot better than he's shown so far and could be a bit of value against more exposed rivals.
