Spinning Coin won three on the bounce last year and after going up the handicap as a consequence has found it hard to win since. However, his losing run has seen him come down the ratings and there were strong signs of a return to form last time, with a good performance at Windsor, finishing a close third in a competitive handicap. Riodan hails from the in form John Quinn yard, and the winning bumper horse chased home Alfie Flitts on his Flat debut before winning nicely at Hamilton. He is up against more experienced individuals here and it will be interesting to see how he fares. Spring Dream scored at Warwick and Wolverhampton before finishing third in a decent Haydock handicap, pulling hard at one stage. If his energy can be better harnessed he can play a part. Spinning Coin has dropped to a winning mark and can take advantage.
