Verdict
Spock has rather lost his way but is back on a winning mark. Ladyvie could be interesting off a lowly rating while The Mad Roberston and Henry San are usually thereabouts. Danandy's recent Uttoxeter win came over hurdles, however, while Tiermore was readily brushed aside by KYLENOE FAIRY here last month. Paul Henderson's mare loves it around here and is still relatively unexposed over fences. Despite a 7lb higher mark, she can score again as she's still well treated on her best form over timber.
