In depth
Verdict
ARABIAN SPIRIT easily comes out best on official ratings and has been racing at a much higher level. He's never been a prolific winner either on turf or the all-weather but this looks well within his capabilities. Jack's Revenge has no problems with the surface having won a C&D handicap last February and made a promising reappearance at Wolverhampton last month. Mcconnell is a real course specialist but only had three opponents when landing a seller over the C&D in February so Fluctuation, another who loves the surface, looks the main threat as he rarely leaves here without finishing in the money.
