Verdict
Swendab, Stonecrabstomorrow and Superior Edge were all placed over the minimum trip last time and Above The Stars won over 5f here last week. The latter carries a penalty today so a chance is taken on COMPTONSPIRIT. She has a recent run under her belt and the dual course and distance winner is back on a winning mark. Wooden King has also scored over track and trip and has slipped down the weights but First Rebellion looks a bigger danger on his recent second at Windsor.
