Verdict

A four-time course and distance winner, including this race in 2014, Relight My Fire is not easily dismissed back on a winning mark. But VISCOUNT BARFIELD (NAP) escapes a penalty for winning an apprentices’ race at Chester last week by over four lengths and Andrew Balding’s colt is preferred. Shouranour and Victoire De Lyphar each carry 6lb extra for their recent wins at Pontefract and Doncaster respectively while Lawyer is upped 4lb for landing a lower grade contest at Ripon. Spryt has only won a maiden race in 20 starts but Sovereign Bounty scored over track and trip last year and is just 2lb higher today.
