      Verdict

      This race looks to rest very much between Indian Spark and Palanzo. Both horses shaped well on their respective reappearances this term but marginal preference is for Indian Spark who is a decent performer over this trip and is slightly favoured by the race conditions. Palanzo's effort behind Reel Buddy at Kempton suggests he's going to win his share of races this term and he looks sure to make a race of it. Proud Native was a disappointment last term but shouldn't be lightly dismissed if attracting money and Brevity, a prolific winner last season must also be respected,.
