SPECTATOR (NAP) appears to handle all types of going. He finished close up over 2m4f on heavy ground at Uttoxeter after winning over an extended 2m3f at Musselburgh. His latest third at Haydock is the best form on offer and it’s a surprise that he’s been dropped a pound since. Barbrook Star only weakened at the last on his handicap debut at Wincanton and has scope, as does Seaston Spirit. Quiz Master is a consistent sort but has been raised 3lb since his latest second at Newton Abbot and Jonathan Burke prefers Apple Of Our Eye to Burrows Lane. Indirocco may be best of the rest as Christmas In April ran a shocker behind stablemate Darius Des Bois at Newbury when favourite.
