SPINATRIX got off the mark at Ripon on Saturday when winning her maiden. This is much easier than her earlier handicap debut at Carlisle and it would be no surprise to see Michael Dods' filly get the better of this uninspiring bunch. Guinea Seeker has been placed more than once and could figure, but Rutterkin's recent second came in a Fibresand claimer where he was beaten four lengths. Whats For Pudding won a Newcastle nursery last year but has shown nothing since, though Hardrock Diamond has scope for improvement after his third at Hamilton last time.
