Formscan  - African Spirit has been picking up minor money, although he has stamina to prove and is passed over in favour of DUMFRIES. Ruth Carr's gelding is working his way back into form and his third at Beverley suggested his turn could be imminent. Book Of Life has been holding his form quite well, as has Nicely Curved, although the latter has been placing in classified events and now tries handicap company.
