This is no better than the first division and the token selection on this occasion is SHAUNAS SPIRIT. He came out second-best in fight to the line over a mile at Kempton last week but may improve for today's longer trip. Gee Major also went close over a mile last time when runner-up to Gallantry here and can figure along with Tinkerbell Will and Daniel Thomas, who have both been placed on the Polytrack recently. Alfraamsey has been in fine form over hurdles and may improve on his earlier efforts back on the Flat today.
