Verdict

SPIRIT OF ASH has a good course record and wasted no time getting back on track when winning at this C&D last month. A 2 lb rise in the weights might not be enough to prevent her from following up, with Bobby Shaftoe feared most as he also bids for back-to-back victories here. Cusack is another who merits consideration.
