In depth
Verdict
In a wide open handicap Playful Spirit could be worth a second glance to start this season as she kicked of last term - with a victory. A really speedy sort, Playful Spirit created a good impression on her first two starts as a two year old and with her liking for fast ground is a sporting selection. Compton Dynamo has been in good form on the all-weather and will be plenty fit enough, Golden Bounty comes from a yard that have already started well this term and Fire Up The Band looks an interesting northern raider. Most eyecatching jockey-booking is Daryll Holland aboard Jonny Ebeneezer, a horse who looks to have been prepared with this race in mind.
