      Verdict

      Fighting Temeraire had Full Intention back in fourth when scoring over track and trip in December and returns to 7f for the first time since. Human Nature hasn’t figured since winning here in October and Bobby Wheeler disappointed at Kempton last time but a couple of these drop back down in class. That includes Ultimate Avenue but he’s only won once in 25 outings and that was on Turf so the vote goes to THAT IS THE SPIRIT. He was winning over course and distance last summer and a repeat of last month’s second at Kempton should see him bang there at the finish once again.
