Verdict
This is a decent handicap but FAST SPIN (NAP) looks worth sticking with. The Crisfords’ three-year-olds has improved with every run and is 2-2 over course and distance so should be capable of defying a 6lb rise. Kodiac Pride has been first past the post in his last three but lost a race at Salisbury when losing his weight cloth. He looks a danger and Lequinto has improved in leaps and bounds here lately. Poetic Force could also go well but Tukhoom is 0-9 on the all-weather. Campari has become disappointing and is tried in blinkers while Little Boy Blue has never raced beyond 6f. Zap is well treated but proving hard to place.
