GYTO Friday Notebook Double

The winning run may well continue for the progressive SPARTAN ARMY here. He completed the hat-trick at Lingfield when last seen and while he only prevailed by a neck that performance was backed up by the clock so it was a good effort with the front 3 miles clear. He is only 4lb higher and if in the same form should win again with Probert back in the saddle. Palace Boy saw his winning run ended to the selection last time but does get a 7lb swing so looks the danger. Vaguely Royal also ties in on that form so is another one to note.

With 2 wins from her first 3 starts the promising PANDORA’S GIFT should be hard to beat now sent handicapping. She settled better when winning last time and with plenty of pace on here I think Sean Levey will look to get some cover before producing her late. Reprised made the breakthrough when last seen and that form has been boosted since so even up 9lb looks the biggest danger. Of the rest Mart was disappointing at Southwell but won at Wolverhampton prior to that so is another one with a squeak having been freshened up since.
