Verdict

SPANGLED MAC made all dropped back down in trip at Yarmouth earlier in the week. He scored over today’s longer distance before that and the hat-trick beckons in this lower grade. Alethiometer is still improving and won at Doncaster recently. He’s preferred to Kingofhell and Sweet Mist, who have both struggled since winning on the all-weather earlier in the year.
