It usually pays to give William Haggas' northern raiders very close attention and the Yorkshireman has an excellent chance of taking home this prize with RESTIVE SPIRIT who bolted up in a C&D maiden. This £200,000 colt looks the sort who could be much better than his current handicap and Haggas will likely have considerably bigger prizes in mind in the coming months. Three Saints Bay is the biggest danger with David O'Meara's three-year-old in fine form having won easily twice at Beverley. Aquarium is a typically tough Mark Johnston handicapper and he looks sure to be involved also.
