        Verdict

        Union Spirit bids for a hat-trick after winning at Beverley a week ago but is upped in class carrying 6lb extra while Shining Aitch attempts this longer trip raised 9lb for winning over a mile at Chelmsford. ICE SPRITE will be sharper for a recent fourth at Yarmouth on her reappearance and further progress is expected from the Haggas filly now handicapping. Ethics Approval steps up from 7f for his handicap debut while 1m4f winner Billhilly has undergone wind surgery since last in action and Sea Of Marmoon is another dropping back down in distance.
