Verdict
Spirit Of Rowdown bids for a hat-trick raised a further 4lb having already beaten Zoolander, Classy Dame, Vivid Imagination and Beau Tinker. He should be in the mix again but MAXINE was beaten only a length over course and distance on her handicap debut and any further progress should see Harry Dunlop’s filly off the mark in this. Flotilla, Step Sister and Kingdom Found are others with scope and the latter pair go handicapping for the first time.
