Moderate pace only with Spicy Surprise leading Don't Tell Harry. NORTHY LAD (3) has had a trial since his last start at Beaumont-Newcastle, and though his form thus far has been disappointing, he has found a winnable maiden here. Ash Morgan keeps the faith, and so do we. SPICY SURPRISE (2) made progress late last year, and he will be a lot more mature after an extended spell. His condition looked near enough when trialling last month, and from a good gate, he can give this a shake fresh up. SEA LEVEL (1) made up many lengths to finish fourth on debut after missing the kick. He has taken a long time to come to it, and once he irons out his small issues, he will win some races. BIRDY GIRL (6) has been trying to win a maiden for some time, and getting back in her races has not helped her cause. Stick with her for all combos. ATADCHEEKY (5) ran on nicely late here 18 days ago, and he can produce another honest effort in this. SUGGESTED PLAY: Northy Lad each-way.
