FormscanBy Michael Graham - SEQUOIASPIRIT is a credit to connections and has the chance to ring up his seventh career victory. He's already a five-time winner on the Flat and has also been plying his trade to good effect over hurdles with a fourth place at the Galway Festival and a runner-up berth in Killarney last month. Weather Alert has been mostly out of form over flights, but reverts to the Flat off a very appealing mark so is one to be cognisant of. Takarengo, who was placed on his last two starts, is well in the hunt for more prize money while you wouldn't want to be ruling out The Mediator.
