No shame in defeat last time out\u00a0<\/span>from<\/span>\u00a0Brooks Spirit (1) after such a strong debut win. Only better for the racing and if able to navigate the one barrier here should end up getting a nice enough trip on the speed and with luck can play\u00a0<\/span>a major role<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>

A cracking trial here a few weeks by Miss Moneypenny (3).

A very good<\/span>\u00a0debut win here by Eyes Wide Open (7) who smashed rivals and looked to have plenty to spare at the end too. A bit of a bigger field here and a widish draw to contend with but\u00a0<\/span>looks<\/span>\u00a0a leading light in the age group at the moment and a big chance here.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>
