Verdict
On a course that is difficult to ride it may pay to stick with an experienced rider on a horse with form on the course. There are a couple that fall into that category, notably Flying Spirit, who will be partnered by Sarah Bosley and last years winning combination of Needwood Mystic and Lucinda Harwood. Flying Spirit has been in good form in minor events and his confidence must be sky high at present. He should prove too strong for last years winner on these terms. Needwood Mystic is a regular in these type of events and the lack of a recent outing need not count against her. Fifth Edition has a little bit to find on the ratings, but she comes here in good form and will be partnered by Rachel Flynn, who has already been successful on the mare.
