Verdict
Warrant Officer finished ahead of Anginola when third at Stratford last month. That was only a poor seller but this probably isn't much better. Noir Girl has lost the plot since winning at Huntingdon last summer so we'll take a chance on SPARTILLA. She's only made the frame once in nine tries over hurdles but has hinted at ability around here on occasions and has the beating of the disappointing Minority Interest on the form book.
