Nonrunner
Moataz ran out a cosy winner over 1m2f at Lingfield on his penultimate start with Little Red Minx behind, but he's 8lb higher today after finishing runner-up at Southwell last time. A chance is taken on SPARTILLA despite not beating much in a seller over 1m3f here last month, as he couldn't have done it any easier and there should be more to come from James Given's charge. Stablemates Ctappers and Imperial Stargazer have a bit of improving to do if they're to figure, but Astroscarlet posted a better effort over this trip last time and could be in the mix.
