GREY SPIRIT carries a double penalty for recent wins at Redcar and Yarmouth. But Sir Mark Prescott’s charge looks well ahead of the handicapper given the ease of last week’s success and a hat-trick looks on the cards. Nutini had been thereabouts at Brighton before a poor effort last time but a couple of less exposed types look a bigger threat now handicapping. White Turf found one too good in a maiden race at Beverley and Parting Clouds was fourth in novice company at Nottingham behind the progressive Thimbleweed.
