An intriguing contest with winning-form on the table. Preference is for BENDY SPIRIT, who has taken a while to come to hand but is looking stronger all of the time. His recent narrow defeats on courses which may not suit him sets the form standard and could have found a good opportunity to get off the mark. Xian Express also falls into this bracket, and must be respected with his second place finish at Navan and could be anything for his new trainer, while the likes of Baileys Blues and Splendidly have solid form, but the latter may be held back by his 7lb penalty.
