Spillers Handicap Stakes

Twilight Moon has two wins in her last five starts and comes here with distance-and-going experience, fit enough at 27 days since her last run; the worry is that a fifth last time out suggests she may need things to fall right to recapture that earlier spark.

Winless in his last five starts, Dream Harder nevertheless catches the eye as the top-rated runner here, and has run over today's trip and going — his 19-day turnaround looks sharp enough. The 133 lb burden is the one note of caution.

Imperial Cult arrives in fine nick, winning last time out and with three wins in his last five starts — he has experience of today's trip and conditions, and 128 lb is no impost for a horse in this form. The sole concern is whether six days is enough recovery.

Stage Show brings solid recent form to this contest — third last time out and a winner three starts back — with experience of today's trip and going working in his favour; the main risk is that eighth two starts back hints at inconsistency.

Two Plus Two has managed just one win in his last five starts, with a pair of fourths either side of a runner-up effort doing little to inspire confidence — he ranks last on our figures here. The distance and going experience counts in his favour, and 21 days off should leave him fresh.
