Verdict

SAMMY SPIDERMAN is on a roll and he can win again at the main expense of Silver By Nature and Panama At Once. The selection looks to have everything in his favour as he is a course specialist and he will relish these conditions. He has now won his last three races and although he is creeping up the weights, he looks a progressive sort and there should be more to come. Silver By Nature has winning form here but it remains to be seen if he will get home over this longer trip on ground as testing as this. Panama At Once is a thorough stayer and he may have won last time here had he not made a real mess of the last. He will need to brush up on his jumping but if he can do so then he could be a leading player. Commercial Flyer looks to be making up the numbers and he is hard to recommend. Sammy Spiderman is on an upward curve and he can win again.
