LORD SPARKY has won four of seven starts around here including over the trip in April. He still isn't badly treated and though generally needing his first run back he looks the one to beat. Rintulla landed a Worcester handicap in July but got only as far as the second at Uttoxeter last month. Achy Breaky Heart attempted to make all over the track and trip last week but had no answer to Railway Muice, who was conceding 20lb, while Maxi Jazz was receiving 17lb from that winner when beaten nine lengths into second at Market Rasen.
