    Verdict

    Saaheq was in the lead at this trip before fading when tackling 6f here on Saturday. Roundabout Magic is 7-39 on the track though does better in Class 6 company but SPUROFTHEMOMENT has been here twice, scoring on Turf and on this surface last month for which a 3lb rise may not prevent another victory. Hey Ho Let's Go led 2f out and looked certain to win over 6f here last week but his stride shortened close home and he was caught on the line. He could have done without a 4lb rise and is held by Thegreyvtrain on an earlier Wolverhampton run. Smokey wasn't far behind the selection last time and is slightly better off.
