Verdict
Although EVOCATIVE SPARK might not be the force of old, he has hit a real purple patch this season, winning three times at this venue already. The latest came over C&D and the son of Frankel still has a bit in hand based on past exploits so further success may well await. Good Earth merits respect following a cosy Haydock victory, while Carlisle third Wen Moon appeals most of the remainder.
Expert View Verdict
EVOCATIVE SPARK has won three of his last four starts, all here, coping just fine with the drop to 6f last time with a strong finish. He's up 4lb, which asks more of him, but given his current red-hot form he still has to be rated the most likely winner. Wen Moon showed the benefit of his reappearance when third at Carlisle last time. The step back up to 6f is a plus and he rates the danger, although Good Earth is coming off an improved win at Haydock and can't be ruled out despite having 6lb more to carry.
