HURRICANE SPIRIT's only defeat in his last four starts came in a handicap and he returned to winning ways in a claimer at Wolverhampton last time. He can race on favourable terms once again here and is just preferred to Only Ten Per Cent and Masai Moon, who are both dropping down in class. Spinning Ridge and The Mongoose are both recent winners in lesser company but will need all of the above mentioned trio to run below par if they're to get involved in this.
