SEASTON SPIRIT has won 5 of his last 6 (over hurdles on reappearance) and probably hasn't finished improving yet, so he gets the nod in a wide-open handicap chase. Ballycross is a big danger on the back of a pleasing start for his new yard and hat-trick seeker Shanty Alley should also go well under a positive ride.
