FormscanBy John O'Riordan - SEQUOIASPIRIT looks a well handicapped horse over hurdles. The five-year-old remains totally unexposed after just a handful of starts under that code. Second at Limerick on his penultimate start over flights, he made a mistake at the last when a fair fourth at Ballinrobe subsequently. A three-time winner on the flat, he holds obvious claims in this company. Swelltime was very impressive when winning his maiden at Gowran Park but hasn't gone on from there. There were signs of a revival at Kilbeggan in May but it is hard to be confident given his overall profile. Capture The Action could make her presence felt but may need the rain to fall, while Backing Band also merits consideration. %0A
