Formscan  - SPIRIT LEAD ME was able to exploit a sliding handicap mark in fine style at Kempton on Wednesday, when tried in first-time cheekpieces (retained). Donagh Murphy negates the penalty incurred for that success with his 7lb claim and Richard Hughes' gelding looks the obvious choice provided this doesn't come too soon. Fellow last-time-out Kempton scorer Havana Touch looks a real danger though, while Emerald Army and Claxton Bay appeal most of the remainder.
