SPIRIT MIXER has a hike in the weights to contend with but completed a double with a six-length romp at Chelmsford last time. There looks more to come and he’s just preferred to course specialist Heart Of Soul, who also bids for a hat-trick having won over shorter trips this month. Old Port is another progressive type upped in distance having won four of his last five starts on the all-weather while Fox Vardy will be sharper for a recent comeback and is fitted with cheekpieces.
