Little or no form to assess with the debut fourth of JUST A SPARK (NAP) at Wolverhampton this month the best on offer. She came home well after a sluggish stalls exit and can be expected to benefit for the experience for her in-form yard and should certainly be in the shake-up in what looks a modest contest. The others to have run will almost certainly be better suited to handicaps and the main dangers may come from the newcomers. The market should assist in sorting the pair out to some extent but Karl Burke's Winter Melody is preferred to Mma Ramotswe at this stage. Star Of Cotai was always trailing on her Kempton debut and the market should again assist in suggesting if a better run is now expected.
