Few make much appeal but CHINESE SPIRIT was only beaten a head at Musselburgh last time with Shine On Brendan back in third and both Bawaader and Irish Eileen further behind. Linda Perratt’s grey gets the vote on that form given stablemate Retirement Beckons was well beaten at Ayr last week having been thereabouts at Carlisle earlier. Hildenley remains unexposed and may prove best of the rest.
