In depth
Verdict
Earth Spirit should earn a nice prize for getting round but this concerns Beyond The Clouds and PISGAH PIKE. The pair have met twice in recent weeks with honours even. The latter had the call over this track and trip before the places were reversed at Uttoxeter so there's little in it on the revised terms but the latter lost a shoe in that latest run which may have been a contributing factor.
