Verdict

SPRING MOVER makes plenty of appeal from the foot of the handicap. She gets a significant weight advantage with The Bishop on running here last year. Two runs following a layoff show she is coming to hand and she moves up to her optimum trip. The Bishop ended a lean spell to collect last time. Nick Alexander's charge has something to find with the selection but his current wellbeing is assured. Darsi Dancer makes most appeal of the rest.
