Sixth in the Queen Mary in June and earlier placed in Listed company at York, it’s hard to believe that MIGHTY SPIRIT is still a maiden. She failed to land the odds at Musselburgh last month but the third and fourth in that race have both won since and she surely can’t blow another gilt-edged opportunity. Raahy will likely be the one to profit should the Fahey filly come up short again as he’s already won on Turf at Lingfield and was second last time on Polytrack. Art Power was staying on over 6f at Newcastle so dropping back a furlong may not be ideal at this stage.
