Good, Good to firm in places, changed to good to firm all over after Race 4 View all races

Formscan By Tom Weekes - BUCANEER’S SPIRIT is a four-time winner who has good recent form and is suited by this distance. Rated 83 at his peak last year, the selection’s mark slipped to 60 when scoring at Cork in April and while unsuccessful in three subsequent runs, is a consistent performer who likes good ground. Three-year-old Cosmic Funk was well held by the winner over course-record-distance on easy ground recently and has a wide draw today. Ocean Echo makes his handicap debut and should compete while Zaraahmando is tried in a first-time tongue-tie.
