This longer trip is something of an unknown for SPARTAN TIMES but he arrives at the top of his game and is taken to score again. Karthala and Hebridean Nomad may provide the chief threat.

Scored for fourth time on level this year when taking 10-runner handicap at Redcar (10f, good to soft) 19 days ago, cosily. Tries longer trip now and has to be of serious interest again.

Verdict
Posted best effort yet, in first-time cheekpieces, when good second of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 17 days ago, nearest finish. Worth a crack at this longer trip and must enter calculations. Blinkers now added.

Back from 6 months off when creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, good to soft) 21 days ago. Entitled to build on that and is 1 lb lower now.

Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap (6/1) at Windsor (11.4f, good) 45 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Back up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Not out of things.

Back to winning ways at Musselburgh (18.1f) last month. Not been in quite same form either start since but remains feasibly treated and can't be ruled out. Blinkers back on.
