    Race Analysis

    SPARKSMITH (7) showed up well for a long way before fading into third tackling this trip at Lingfield AW on debut. The James Ferguson trained son of Hello Youmzain may last longer this time around and receives a nice draw in stall two. ALLEGRINO (8) holds obvious claims racing for the Andrew Balding team having left her debut effort well behind when denied a short-head at Kempton second time out. Anticipated to be right in the mix. Bringing more experience GENNADIUS (1) has managed to find the frame six times from his eleven career starts and returns after 121 days off. EVENEPOEL (3) also needs to be considered.
