Shane's Spirit¹⁴⁹

Age: 4| Weight: 11-0| J: James Bowen| T: M Bowen

4/5

Getaway gelding who showed plenty of ability when fifth of 11 in bumper at Perth (2m, good) back in the spring. Has since left Stuart Crawford and looks the one to beat.

Form: 5-

Missy Moises⁹³

Age: 4| Weight: 10-7| J: Harry Reed| T: Nick Scholfield

9/2

Moises Has filly who ran to just a poor level first time up when fifth of 6 in bumper at Market Rasen (17f, good to firm) 3 months ago. Needs to leave that bare form well behind but there's every chance she will.

Form: 5

Forecasts

Shane's Spirit (4/5), Kap In Hand (10/3), Missy Moises (9/2), Company Charge (15/2), On The Fly (33/1), Merci Vieil Ami (80/1)

SHANE'S SPIRIT showed plenty of ability when fifth in a Perth bumper back in the spring and with improvement on the cards having switched to Mickey Bowen, he looks to have been found a good opportunity to get off the mark. Sole-filly Missy Moises didn't show a great deal first time up, but she's taken to chase home the selection ahead of debutant Kap In Hand.
