        Verdict

        Spiritual Star went close again last time having escaped a penalty for an earlier success here. But he’s been raised 5lb today and Foie Gras is upped 4lb after scoring at Chelmsford. Simply Clever went close in a lower grade here on her penultimate start but another chance goes to SWANSWAY (NAP). A winner at Newcastle in December, he’s been narrowly beaten in a couple of subsequent starts at the same track and can deservedly get his head back in front in this.
