Formscan - Having opened her account with ease in an apprentice handicap at Southwell three days ago, FOREST SPIRIT is sure to prove popular. Michael Bell's filly escapes a penalty for that breakthrough victory and she's likely to go close if coping with a quick turnaround. Starfighter has proved a model of consistency in recent months and a 1lb nudge up in the ratings is unlikely to prevent another bold bid, while Harry The Haggler should appreciate a return to his last winning trip.
