Spirit Of Rome had no chance in a Listed race at Exeter last month having won earlier at Taunton. She was also successful here in the autumn and will appreciate being back in the right grade. The Wire Flyer won at Ffos Las last month when both Gregarious and Definite Winner finished tailed off but LITTLE VERN was just behind a subsequent winner when third off this mark here in December. He has been quite lightly raced and his yard is in better form now. Darkest Day keeps knocking on the door but is now 0-12 and After The Fox may need to drop a few more pounds before picking up the winning thread again.
