Verdict

MYSTICAL SPIRIT recorded his maiden win over 7f and went close over the same distance at Newmarket when last at the track in September. He stays the longer trip and is just preferred to the two recent winners Charlies Mate and Isis Blue. The former won at Lingfield three weeks ago but is upped in class along with the latter, who scored over track and trip last month under today's apprentice. Franco's Secret has been thereabouts of late and Exceeding Power is another capable of getting involved in this grade of his current mark.
