SPIRITOFTHEGAMES ran well in a handicap on his most recent outing and can take this novice hurdle under a penalty here. The selection has a success at Ayr to his name already this season with this drop in trip unlikely to inconvenience him and he can be given most to do by Amour De Nuit, assuming that the latter reproduces the form of his debut outing while this step up in trip on hurdles debut can see Minella Style claim third.
