Verdict

A chance is taken on the fitness of SPIRIT MIXER, who was a terrific second in the 2022 Northumberland Plate off just a 1 lb lower mark on his latest start on the all-weather. He was below par in a valuable Musselburgh handicap on his sole start of last year but resumes with his yard among the winners. The hat-trick seeking Spartan Army is greatly respected, while Duty of Care and Red Flyer are others to consider.
