Gwili Spar probably has the ability to win a race like this but is hard to catch right. Quench Tara would have a chance on her third at Worcester last June but Hang Fire was beaten in a Stratford seller two weeks ago. Ashkoun is another who lacks consistency and Mondello disappointed again at Newton Abbot. Right Madam was flattered by her proximity to Red Tornado at Ludlow and is 0-22 in career starts. DEFINITELY VINNIE ran his best race so far at Worcester 10 days ago so is given a tentative vote in an uninspiring finale.
