      Verdict

      ETAAD continued his good progress with a clear-cut victory at Lingfield last time. He's upped a further 7lb but does not look to have stopped improving yet. Fast Sprite ran well enough when third at Kempton on his handicap bow while Bailiwick was thereabouts once again over a mile here recently and is preferred to Alketios. The Happy Hammer may have done his winning for the year with a win at this track back in September and Welliesinthewater remains 4lb higher than his success at Doncaster in August.
