Missouri Spirit has had more chances than most of these but is rated higher than the likes of Secret Code and Elsie Partridge and should be thereabouts again. Too Elusive and You're Fired look likely to improve further but so does GROUNDWORKER. The latter finished much closer over 5f here on his latest start and he gets the speculative vote with Richard Hughes' presence in the saddle taking the eye. Mirror is a newcomer worth a second glance in the betting.
