Verdict
Spinning Ridge is up in the weights for two narrow defeats recently and is passed over in favour of FORWARD FELINE, with By Command considered a big danger. Bryn Palling's filly was a little disappointing at the track last time but she had previously been holding her form well. She dead-heated for first here in December over this distance and is expected to run well. By Command is a course winner and Jamie Spencer looks an interesting jockey booking; the drop in trip must be a worry however. Polar Annie needs a market check on this return to action, War And Peace doesn't look one to trust implicitly, whilst Munich won well at Kempton in January but is 8lb higher as a result. Aegean King must be considered if the betting speaks in his favour on this first start for a while, Well Of Echoes has had a fine month but may now be high enough in the handicap, whilst Harting Hill and Monashee Rock are better than their latest runs might suggest. At a price Fiefdom is considered dropped in trip, however the nomination is given to Forward Feline.
