Verdict
Topiary Ted won well last time and is taken to score again at the main expense of Thornaby Green and Spark Up. The selection has had plenty of chances on turf, but he won easily here last time on his first run on the Polytrack. This surface clearly suits his style of racing and from a good draw he should be capable of following up. Spark Up is a course and distance winner and although she is entitled to make the frame, she looks weighted up to her best at present. Thornaby Green took well to this surface when beating Milk and Sultana last time. The form has been given a boost as Milk And Sultana ran a blinder at Kempton earlier in the week so David Barron's charge is not one to dismiss lightly. The Gaikwar would have claims on his best form but he has been a little below-par of late and we are happy to stick with Topiary Ted as our choice to lead them home.
