Verdict
BANKAWI was a beaten favourite in a handicap at Beverley last month but that was still his best performance for quite a while. Spartakos tends to run his best races around here while it’s difficult to ignore Retirement Beckons in this grade. Hello Power get a weight-for-age allowance but she finished tailed off when tried over this trip at Musselburgh earlier in the year.
