SPIRIT MIXER has returned an improved model this spring, completing a quick-fire hat-trick in good style over shorter here 2 weeks ago. He remains one to be interested in given how he quickened clear then and is fancied to make a bold bid to complete the 4-timer. It's Good To Laugh has been a real success story for Jennie Candlish and is feared, along with Merlin's Beard, who continues to go the right way.
