Verdict

The market will no doubt prove informative with regards to the newcomers but SPIRITS BAY looked a good prospect when comfortably landing a C&D bumper 11 weeks ago (value for extra having come from the back of the field). With further improvement not out of the equation, Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge is fancied to follow up. Beachcomber, Duc du Rene and Hurricane Danny are just a handful of potential dangers.

  1. SPIRITS BAY
