PRECIOUS SPARTAN showed vastly improved form when winning readily over C&D last week and on that evidence, he looks well placed to follow up under a penalty for his new yard. Flamborough Head, a C&D runner-up, is feared most if bouncing back from a below-par effort at Redcar. Epicurian Lad could also get back on track with a first-time visor applied.
