Formscan - Okiru attempted to make all when third at Newcastle last time, while both Galileo Blue and Meritocratic also led for a long way on their latest starts. That trio should ensure a good pace and that could play into the hands of FREE YOUR SPIRIT. Inexperience got the better of Richard Hughes' charge when sent off odds-on at Lingfield on debut and finishing only fourth. He'll know more now and is taken to make amends.
