In depth
Verdict
Spark Up is consistent and can pay to support ahead of Sierra and Blakeshall Quest, with Sweetest Revenge and Epitomise others worth considering in an open affair. Spark Up was only just touched off in selling company here at Wolverhampton last time, and although that is her level, this is little better. She has won over the course and distance before and has the assistance of the up-and-coming Robert Kingscote. She makes slightly more appeal than Sierra who has run in better company in the past, but she has joint topweight to overcome. Blakeshall Quest ran well at Soutwell and has been in good form of late, while Sweetest Revenge hung her head at Yarmouth and needs strong handling to get involved. Epitomise hails from a stable doing well this season and her run behind the unbeaten Bobski at Yarmouth was fair form. Entertain won over six furlongs at Southwell and now steps up in trip so has more on her plate, and for the winner we return to Blakeshall Quest.
