        Verdict

        Spygate has had plenty of chances but acts on the going as he showed when beaten a head in a Hamilton nursery so has to be respected. But his stable companion LINCOLN GAMBLE couldn't go the pace over 5f on fast going at Redcar and should be much more suited here so looks the one to be on. Hidden Spell has been placed twice here but has been looking a bit one-paced while Simply Silca's two runs have been on Polytrack. None of the remainder make much appeal on what they have shown to date.
