There wasn't much between STANLEY SPENCER and Scarboroughwarning when they filled the places in the C&D handicap won by Crestofdistinction last month, and there probably won't be much in it this time either. Both have strong claims and marginal preference is for Stanley Spencer, who earns top marks for consistency. The Thames Boatman scores highly in that regard, too, and he shouldn't be far away, while likely pace angles Chuti Manika and Intervention are also fairly appealing.
