WEIGHTWATCHER: LENNY’S SPIRIT won off a handicap mark of 68, his rating is now down 6lb to 62. LONGEST TRAVELLER: DANEHILL STAR trained by T Carroll, Cropthorne, 175 miles.
THE WICKED WOLF is a potential improver if ready to roll on his handicap debut from a mark that may well underestimate him, so he has plenty going for him. Danehill Star is a solid rival, while Meritocratic would also be in the mix if able to replicate his Windsor effort.
