In depth
Verdict
The lightly-raced Supreme Spirit could prove the best of Dandy Nicholls' quartet dropping back in trip for her reappearance, but it's difficult to tell who's the most forward of Tim Easterby's duo as his stable jockey rides Senate Majority and Paul Hanagan is back on board Oondiri. Jigajig was in flying form at this time last year and Fashion Icon went close over C&D behind Lucky Art a week ago, but MON BRAV has plenty going for him here. His form tailed off after winning in better company at York and Thirsk last season, but that's allowed him to slip back down to a winning mark and Declan Carroll's sprinter looks set to strike.
