SPARTAN TIMES didn't have to be at his best when cosily landing a cross-code hat-trick at Ffos Las last month and could still be ahead of the handicapper. He looks a better horse on ground with give and marginally gets the vote given the unsettled forecast. Sophiesticate is readily preferred as the main danger having been unlucky not to win over C&D last time. Of the rest, Wyld Bill could still be improving.

    Verdict
    C&D winner was off 19 months prior to this season but has shown plenty of her ability remains, unlucky not to win when second of 9 in handicap (13/2) at this C&D (good to firm) 7 days ago, finishing strongly after being short of room. Races off 1 lb lower and remains well handicapped.

    Verdict
    Didn't need to be at his best to a complete a hat-trick (which included a hurdle win) when cosily landing a 5-runner handicap at Ffos Las (10f, good) 12 days ago. 10 lb higher but could still be ahead of the handicapper as he bids for a 4-timer.

    Verdict
    Showed improved form (yard in good form at the time) to get off the mark when winning 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 6/1) 24 days ago, just holding on. Lightly-raced and could have more to offer back on turf.

    Verdict
    Lightly-raced 4-y-o ran his best race to date when runner-up at Haydock in May but had little by way of excuses when well held fifth of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good, 10/1) 16 days ago. Will need to improve.

    Verdict
    Long-standing maiden attracted support and ran to a similar level to last time upped in trip when creditable third of 11 in handicap (13/2) at Musselburgh (12.5f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Drop in trip no problem but will need to pull out a bit more if he's to get off the mark.

    Verdict
    One of his better runs when respectable third of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 33/1) 15 days ago, doing enough to suggest this trip is just about within range. Will need to build on that if he's to record a first success upped in grade.

    Verdict
    Course winner couldn't build on a promising C&D second when sixth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good to firm) 9 days ago, too free to see out her race even dropped in trip. Steps back up in distance with Clifford Lee taking over from usual claiming rider and not discounted if settling.

    Can race lazily and turned in just a fair effort when fifth of 9 in handicap (11/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 7 days ago. Needs more if he's to break his losing run.

    Verdict
    Visor didn't have the same effect second time up when below form fifth of 12 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D (good to soft) 15 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Looks unlikely to break her maiden from out of the handicap.

    3-time C&D winner ran as well as could be expected after 10 months off but couldn't back that up following a further 10 week absence when ninth of 12 in handicap at this C&D (good to soft, 28/1) 15 days ago, missing break. Something to prove now.
