The consistent SPIDER BOY should be able to conquer a mark rise and make it two on the trot in front of Faversham and Hareem. The pick took that last time out success over course and distance staying on quite nicely to win by just over a length. He's up five pounds for that which shouldn't be too much of a problem and the form lines from his third place two starts ago are rock solid. Faversham looks a little high in the handicap at present and was well beaten by the pick last time out. The seven pound weight swing in his favour will get him closer but it is debatable if he'll be close enough to score. It could be that that Hareem is now down to a winnable mark after starting life in handicaps with plenty on his back while What Happened could go well off bottom weight despite still above his last winning mark. Cash For Honours is unlikely to deliver cash for punters unless his jumping has been sorted after falling last time and with more negatives than positives about his rivals we are left with Spider Boy as the pick.
