Verdict
The rejuvenated SPARTAN FIGHTER has won four of his last five starts here. His latest success came in a higher grade sprint just four days ago and Antony Brittain's charge looks worth sticking with in his current mood. Rajstar opened his account over C&D on his first attempt over 6f and has plenty of scope for further progress, while Mayo County has been in better form of late and it would be no surprise if she went close.
Expert View Verdict
A strong contest can go to RAJSTAR who showed a good turn of foot when making a winning handicap debut over C&D. A 7lb rise looks lenient and his yard has been in flying form recently. The consistent multiple C&D winner Teardrops will provide a big challenge as he should be capable of better again if settling. Another course specialist Yorkshire Glory should also be thereabouts with his latest placed effort boosted.
