Three time winner including over C&D in a similar race to this back in May. Held in three handicap runs since but worth a check in the market in this contest.

Dual C&D winner in 2016 on ground softer than is forecast today. Well beaten in recent starts however including on good-to-soft ground over 7f last time out and this drop in trip should suit.

Finished fourth over 6f at Hamilton the last twice including on good-to-firm ground on his penultimate outing. Has placed over C&D in the past and is favoured by the weights in this selling event.

Forecasts

Manatee Bay (13/8), Searanger (11/4), Bold Spirit (3/1), Spike (12/1), Deben (20/1), Mercers Row (20/1), A Bit Of Ginger (25/1), Roman Times (66/1), Zaytoon (125/1)

Verdict

A chance is taken on BOLD SPIRIT being granted a soft lead in this selling contest and the selection can follow up his two previous C&D successes by taking this contest. Declan Carroll's charge ran a fair race over this C&D in May and can get the better of Manatee Bay who has placed here in the past while Searanger can claim third under top weight.
  1. Bold Spirit
  2. Manatee Bay
  3. Searanger
