The Dominic Ffrench Davis stable is in cracking form so it would be no surprise to see DESTINY'S SPIRIT improve again back from a break and make it 4 wins in her last 5 starts. Just A Spark has thrived on AW lately and will be a big threat if as effective on the grass. Recent Thirsk maiden winner Gemini Star is also respected.
