        Verdict

        Spartan Fighter returned to winning ways when making all over track and trip 11 days ago. He can figure again if allowed his own way at the head of affairs while Shallow Hal posted his best effort for a while when going close at Southwell last week. Fortamour ran well for second here when last in action in November but BALLYARE found only one too good in a higher grade sprint over course and distance last month and Lucinda Russell’s charge may prove the one to side if posting a similar effort.
