World Spirit has been well placed and can take advantage of that at the expense of Waymark and Blue Monkey. The selection comes here on the back of a winning run at Bath when well backed. He won well that day and with only six pounds extra to carry here he looks set to follow up on the previous gamble. Waymark has his first run in handicap company racing off a mark that may look a little severe on what he has acheived. Having said that he does come from a top yard and has a top jockey booked so he is well worth noting in the market. As is Blue Monkey who has now won two of his last three races but on the down side the handicapper has taken note and from now on things will be tougher. So for the winner we return to World Spirit as the likely winner.
