Verdict

SPOOF should hold a decent chance if the in-form Callum Shepherd can get him away smartly from a promising draw. He likes to be in front and this track plays to that strength. Formidable Kitt drops from pattern-race company for his first handicap and could be capable of a bid, while similar comments apply to Looks A Million. Showmethedough is a contender for a yard going along nicely.
