Formscan - SHANGHAI SPIRIT (3) has gone close on his last two outings, most recently at Deauville on the PSF in mid-August, and gets a tentative vote. WINGS OF FIRE (1) has also been holding its form well with consistent recent efforts and can threaten the selection. SYLVER SAMBA (4) shaped nicely when third in a Class 4 handicap at Vichy in mid-July and is respected, while TREVOR SENORA (12) is well drawn in stall 2 with a handy racing weight and should not be discounted.
