In depth
Verdict
Six of the nine runners in this sprint have already won over track and trip. Spoof goes for the ha-trick and the three-year-olds Diligent Lady and Poets Dance aren’t without a chance but Bellevarde was beaten in a lower grade last time. Free Love goes in the opposite direction having contested a Class2 last time at York but GRANDMOTHER TOM appears to have slipped to a fair mark and he’ll handle any give in the ground whereas Daschas likes to hear his hooves rattle.
