After Monday’s victory, Tonto's Spirit bids for a fifth course win. He is still well treated on past form, despite a penalty, and should be in the firing-line again with Ardera Cross looking held on the form book. However, TRESHNISH would have been arriving on a four-timer had he not fallen when clear at the last at Hexham early last month. He is finally beginning to realise his potential so gets the nod. Rooster Cogburn was well beaten off his new mark at Huntingdon after winning at Market Rasen but Sword Of Fate likes it here and could have place claims.
