        Verdict

        This is tougher than the race won by Heer We Go Again at Lingfield and he’s 5lb higher today but Wonderwork has been raised only 3lb for scoring at Redcar with Birkenhead back in third and makes more appeal. Royal Context ran well for second over track and trip on his reappearance and is preferred to handicap debutant Blazing Hot and Spirit Of The Sky but TRIPLE SPEAR (NAP) gets another chance. The latter struggled in much tougher company at Ascot last time but had won in this grade over course and distance earlier and Mick Appleby’s charge gets the vote on that form.
