      Verdict

      Spriggan is taken to upset likely hotpot Rahiyah in a race that makes little appeal as a betting medium. Spriggan is a son of Ishiguru and as his father was proven under wet conditions and with Clive Cox's team in fair form, he makes some appeal at the likely odds. Rahiyah is sure to be a short price following a fair second over course-and-distance although it will be interesting to see if he can handle any cut in the ground should the rain arrive. Ireland Dancer made headway late on debut. There is a chance of some improvement on that effort and the market is watched accordingly. Blue Mistral and The Graig showed little of note while Leonide was unfancied in two hot Newmarket maidens. Spriggan is taken to handle the likely conditions and upset the favourite backers.
