TONTO'S SPIRIT is on the upgrade and goes for a hat-trick having scored over hurdles at Cartmel before an all-the-way victory over this trip at Musselburgh. The assessor has been kind with just a 4lb rise and he should prove better than a 49-rated handicapper. Henry Smith had been in excellent form on differing all-weather surfaces before returning to Turf with a fine run at Hamilton where he was caught in the dying strides by Chauvelin, who was receiving 9lb. The veteran Gunner Lindley hasn't won since 2013 and failed to take advantage of a falling handicap mark at Hamilton on Thursday but Thankyou Very Much is dropping to a mark she should be capable of winning from soon.
