Arctic Spirit can beat topweight Saorsie and Red Dahlia in the last, with Irish Blessing best of the rest. Arctic Spirit loves it round here, and was successful over fences here in May. He comes back from a break and is much better treated over hurdles, so has major claims if fit enough. Saorsie battled home by a neck over Tingshaw Ring here 18 days ago when given a patient ride by Tom Scudamore. He has had his problems in the past but treatment by a chiropracter seems to have worked and with a claimer taking over here, he should be there or thereabouts. Red Dahlia has more to do than when winning a seller at Taunton on fast ground, but she comes from a top yard. Irish Blessing was pulled up at Uttoxeter in May but had a couple of placed efforts earlier and is worth a mention as well, but Arctic Spirit stands out and is the pick.
