Spirit Of Coniston should be good enough to take this seller, Magic Amour and Tiviski appear to be the main dangers. Spirit Of Coniston showed excellent form last October and following a couple of poor efforts looked on the way back last time. He was only beaten three lengths behind Pauvic in a similar race to this and as it was only his second race following a two month break he should be open to plenty of improvement. Magic Amouur has been a revelation this winter and gained his third victory of the year when beating Iced Diamond last time. He loves this course and another bold showing can be expected. Tiviski has a bit to find on official ratings but is in good heart at present and could be capable of reaching the frame. Ladies Knight is from a yard amongst the winners and should be monitored closely in the betting, but Spirit Of Coniston, only a three-year-old, is open to more improvement than most of these and just gets the verdict.
