Spillers Spectacular Handicap Stakes (gbbplus Race)

Last Verse won last time out, his only victory in his last five starts, and returns for this after a 26-day break; the form figures make him this field's leading contender, having shown modest form in the starts before that.

Outflank has been frustratingly consistent, with three thirds in his last four starts, though he remains without a win in that run; the main risk is his 40-day break since a below-par sixth last time out.

Kakirra arrives on a four-race winning streak and has run over today's trip before, with his stable in good form at 28% over the last fortnight; the notable snag is that he rates only fourth of four here despite that sequence.

Boilermaker remains winless in his last five starts but has been admirably consistent, with three places among them, and returns quickly here just 11 days after his latest outing; our rating rates him well above his official mark.
