Formscan By Tom Weekes - Lightly-raced eight-year-old COYOTE SPIRIT has been running well and is his trainer’s first-string, from six runners. The selection has proven himself on testing ground, has run well at today’s course on a few occasions in the past and contests a winnable maiden. Stablemate Whinney Hill has better form and while he will also be suited by reverting left-handed today, was reported to be coughing post-race having pulled up at Down Royal last month and is now tried in first-time blinkers. Ex-Flat Cock And Bull and Muhaajim would each prefer better ground.
