Formscan  - SPRING IS SPRUNG's progress has stalled recently, but that doesn't tell the whole story as he's contested a couple of hot York handicaps. This is by no means a penalty kick, but Paul Midgley's charge will undoubtedly find it less taxing and, with two wins from six starts on the all-weather, it would come as no surprise were he to bounce back. Fellow class dropper Brazen Bolt is no slouch on an artificial surface either and must be respected along with Miraculous, who arrives following a creditable second at Chester.
