Lord Sparky made a winning handicap debut over hurdles at Huntingdon back in April but is 7lb higher for this. From The Heart has been well beaten in handicaps so far but FOR JIM was beaten only a short-head off today’s mark at Huntingdon last week and, if this doesn’t come too soon, Jennie Candish’s grey can go one better. Fawsley Spirit and Dubh Des Champs will be sharper for recent comeback runs while Speedy Cargo has undergone wind surgery and switched yards since last in action back in January.
