A sprint handicap where it may pay to look towards the head of the weights and NEWSTEAD ABBEY holds the most convincing claims. He has been running very well on Tapeta recently but his overall form is even better on Polytrack, and having finished a very close second over this course at Wolverhampton last time he is 4lb well-in off the same mark and with a draw to suit should be able to pick up a second win in three starts here. Soaring Spirits ' form stacks up well enough and should also be on the premises, while Welsh Rose can go well if proving she can act on this surface.
