Three of these carry Middleham Park colours for different trainers. Joe’s Spirit makes most appeal of those on his recent second at Lingfield given Kikini Bamalaam remains 13lb higher than when last successful and Blue Harmony finished behind JELLMOOD at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day. The latter was beaten only a neck on that occasion and can go one better in this while also confirming latest running with Windsor Cross.
