Floral Spinner is looking high enough in the weights at present. Badilou is having his first run for Martin Hill having only won a couple of minor contests in France but Monbeg Gold should go well as he had An Tarbh Og behind when only finding Copper's Friend too good in a maiden at Uttoxeter in September. CITY SUPREME is also still seeking a first victory but wasn't disgraced at Fontwell in May when taking on better opposition. The Milan gelding can cash in on a drop in grade and a 2lb lower handicap mark. Captainofindustry was beaten 16 lengths when runner-up at Ffos Las but should improve on that here while veteran Titch Strider is still capable on his day.
