Verdict

EVOCATIVE SPARK confirmed the promise of his previous run here when running out an emphatic winner over C&D 2 weeks ago and, remaining with handicapping scope on the pick of last season's form, all looks set fair for another big run. Hodler travelled well for a long way at Newbury and back at the scene of his last success is a threat. Legal Reform and Justcallmepete are others in the mix.
