Verdict

Julia Fielden's two entries, Spanish Mane and Heer's Sadie, are both dual course winners though the former ran a rare poor race last time when pulling too hard. Amathus completed a fast-ground double at Lingfield before a poor run there on his hat-trick bid but this can go to INTERCESSOR (NAP). He's been racing exclusively at a higher level all season and has dropped to a winning mark judging by a narrow defeat at Leicester a couple of weeks ago. Dulcet Spirit should reverse places with Amathus on earlier Lingfield running while eight-times winner Sir Titan ran well at Leicester last time.
