      Verdict

      Daniel Thomas has won five times on the Polytrack this year between a mile and 1m4f and Richard Guest's versatile gelding looks sure to be bang there at the finish once again. However, HURRICANE SPIRIT was taking on better horses than he faces here when third over C&D last time and Natasha Eaton's 7lb claim should give him the edge in this company. Wisecraic passed the post first over track and trip last month before being disqualified but has plenty to find with the selection on today's terms, as do Whodunit and Musashi.
