Verdict
PEADAR MIGUEL has been very consistent on the Flat and over hurdles though he pulled a bit too hard at Kempton a fortnight ago. The quick ground will suit and he can see off the challenge of Tindaro, who didn't enjoy the very heavy going at Lingfield last time. Notarfbad improved at Wincanton though he's untested on ground this fast but Honoured was tailed off when last seen at Bangor in January. Dark Spirit is a fast ground specialist and made a winning debut over timber at Newton Abbot in September so conditions will be in her favour.
