Sword Spirit³²

Age: 3| Weight: 9-0| J: Jim Crowley| T: W J Haggas

9/1, promising debut fourth of 8 in 1m novice at Doncaster (soft) 32 days ago, running green and no extra late on. Sure to build on that so firmly in the mix.

Form: 4

Forecasts

Secret Victory (4/9), Sword Spirit (10/3), Top Drop (8/1), Amsby (14/1), Vanity Affair (25/1), Carmenere (50/1), Hyacinth (80/1), Bringing Glory (125/1), On The Nod (200/1), Sepora (250/1)

SECRET VICTORY sets a good standard so is hard to side against on the back of his excellent runner-up effort at Wolverhampton last time. Sword Spirit shaped well on her debut at Doncaster last month so rates much the biggest threat to Charlie Appleby's gelding with newcomer Vanity Affair appealing as the pick of the remainder.
