Verdict
Sea's Aria has been placed twice at Fontwell recently and is probably on a fair mark at present but WINTER SPICE has had just the four starts over timber and has been generally progressive. A return to better ground will suit after his latest third at Newton Abbot. Kublai just failed to overhaul Double Court at Market Rasen last month so the step up in distance should be in his favour while Aquarian showed promise in Ireland and Jonjo O’Neill should find a race for his new charge in the months ahead. Danceintothelight is guaranteed to ensure a strong pace but has been struggling to get home lately, though still makes more appeal than Vif Argent.
