The usual suspects on offer but Spaghetti Junction is dropped markedly in class and should account for Up The Glen, Mill Emerald and Mister Pickwick. Robert Alner's performer has been highly tried in listed company and is actually in receipt of weight from some very exposed rivals. While she cannot be backed with the housekeeping money, at these terms, she won't have a better chance of landing a prize. Up The Glen is a dual purpose horse who is capable of winning in this grade. He disappointed over chase fences on his latest start in non-selling grade but he is entitled to run well particularly if there is any overnight rain. Mill Emerald has not shown anything for new connections but would not be without a chance if reproducing some of the form shown with Mary Reveley. Mister Pickwick stayed on for pressure behind Double Agent on a reappearance effort. More can be expected today. Jardin Fleuri has shown little of note for Martin Pipe and should be watched for any market support. Spaghetti Junction is given the nod on a substantial drop in class.
