Verdict

Useful Flat handicapper SPADER offered something to work on when third in a juvenile event over a slightly longer trip here last month and trainer Harry Skelton appears to have found a suitable opportunity for his handicap debut, providing he handles the quicker surface. That said, the erratic Whispering Form would have every chance if repeating the form he showed to win at Musselburgh on his penultimate start with Good Tradition also a live danger.
  1. Spader
