Spiorad won a similar race over the track and trip very easily last August and has been racing in better company. Danny Tudhope rides and he was on board when stable companion Eagle Court was beaten in an Ayr handicap after landing a Pontefract maiden. Artistic Rifles has been racing in Italy but is just 2lb higher than when completing a Doncaster double for Charlie Hills last summer. Lexington Force scored at Kempton in February and was having his first subsequent start when failing to concede 7lb to Endured back there last month. Turntable completed a double in Class 5 handicaps then didn't appreciate softer ground at Newbury. HARRY GEORGE had won four times at Newcastle by the time he made his debut on Turf and has continued his progress. He takes a step up in grade from 3lb higher but looks capable of completing a hat-trick.
