Previous results
In depth
Verdict
The Good Ting won over 6f at Kempton but is 5lb higher and Spartakos ended last year with a close-up fourth at Newcastle. Major J finished ahead of Lady Of Desire over track and trip last year while Orphiuchus is one of the least exposed. But the latter comment also applies to NODSASGOODASAWINK, who posted an improved effort in a tougher contest at Lingfield on her handicap debut and is taken to open her account with Tom Marquand’s presence a positive.
