Formscan - The rejuvenated SPARTAN FIGHTER has won four of his last five starts here. His latest success came in a higher grade sprint just four days ago and Antony Brittain's charge looks worth sticking with in his current mood. Rajstar opened his account over C&D on his first attempt over 6f and has plenty of scope for further progress, while Mayo County has been in better form of late and it would be no surprise if she went close.
