Verdict
Simon Walker's presence on Giant Spark suggests his mount is fancied to lose his maiden tag as is Poolstock, though he's now had 25 starts without winning and has become expensive to follow. COMPTON RIVER has had 21 starts to date, all but one of the minimum trip and that was 7f at Southwell. He was staying on when impeded at Catterick last time so in the hope the extra furlong brings out the best in him he's taken to land this poor handicap. Half of this field are out of the handicap though not by much and it shouldn't prevent a big run from Wattaboutsteve, who has raced exclusively on the all-weather tracks to date though there's no reason why he shouldn't do well on Turf and he'll get a good ride from Joanna Mason. Serena Brotherton has won two of the last four of these but her mount Comptonssecret has shown little to date.
