Spontaneity has gone close in a couple of all-weather maidens over the minimum trip but is surely worth opposing under top weight here. Misty Morn and Irish Boy also look exposed but Ezzles should be capable of improvement this year, while Trading showed promise in the early part of last season. But Tim Easterby's gelding looks to have little chance of reversing recent Southwell running with TANCRED SPIRIT, who looks to be on the upgrade and can get off the mark in this despite being a pound wrong in the weights.
