A progressive sort last season, BONA FORTUNA has yet to rediscover that form but his recent third in a strong contest at Hamilton was a step in the right direction. A mark of 77 still looks manageable for the son of Mehmas and he may have too much for Spirit Of Applause, who was narrowly denied over C&D in May and ran with plenty of credit when third at Redcar last time out. The Paul Midgley stable has hit form of late, and Frank The Spark is another to note having scored here last August. |
A tight contest which can go to previous C&D winner FRANK THE SPARK. He has failed to build on a promising turf reappearance but the handicapper is relenting and he can take advantage at the expense of Spirit Of Applause. He has dropped back to his last winning mark despite showing a generally consistent level of form and his last run is worth marking up as he was given plenty to do. Bona Fortuna is the only one in the line up open to improvement so isn't dismissed either but will need a stiff test over this sharp enough trip. |
