15/8

Promising sort. 20/1, seventh of 9 in minor event at Windsor (10f, good to firm) 21 days ago, needing stiffer test. Really caught the eye in qualifying runs and should go close.

3/1

Forecasts

Zikany (15/8), Spirit Mixer (3/1), Elusive Artist (9/2), Secret Haunt (9/2), The Tide Turns (13/2), Arthur's Angel (12/1), Copake (12/1)

A tricky 3-y-o handicap with a few potential improvers in the line-up. SPIRIT MIXER didn't have an ideal passage at Wolverhampton last time on handicap debut and he should improve for that outing. He looks the one to be with here. There could be more to come from Copake as he steps up in trip too. Zikany and The Tide Turns also could have more to offer now handicapping.
