Spare Parts complicates matters given he won easily at Wolverhampton last time but was due to run at Kempton yesterday. Dream Revival’s earlier success came in a maiden race and Mercury is upped 5lb after winning a Class 7 contest here so TASAABOQ gets the vote on a couple of earlier placed efforts at Wolverhampton as he can race off the same mark today. Jazz Affair has been getting closer without threatening to open his account but is less exposed than the likes of Deben.
