Verdict
KING OF SPIN continued his good progress when making a winning return at Windsor earlier in the month. There looks more to come from Richard Hughes’ four-year-old and he can complete a quick double. Rio Ronaldo is back on a winning mark and drops back down in class but Nezar, Picket Line and Nightingale Valley all won lower grade sprints on their latest starts and will find this tougher. Robero has been thereabouts over longer trips recently while Pettochside and the returning Storm Melody could also go well with Jim Crowley’s presence on the latter taking the eye.
