Verdict

ONTOPOFTHEWORLD made all for a hat-trick before taken on for the lead and setting a fast pace at Worcester. He ran of steam in the closing stages on that occasion but today’s opponents may have trouble keeping tabs on Peter Bowen’s charge if allowed an easy lead. Raise A Spark won at Cartmel during the summer and should go well back over this shorter trip while Pistol Park won at Carlisle when last in action in April but is 6lb higher on his return with cheekpieces added to the usual tongue-tie.
