Formscan  - A case can be made for several of these, but MICK'S SPIRIT was a beaten favourite over this trip at Chelmsford last time and is fancied to bounce back to winning form, despite a 2lb raised mark. Dalby Forest had Bert Kibbler a neck behind in second when securing a game win, also at Chelmsford, last week and he can uphold that form off the same mark, but the reopposing gelding should not be taken lightly.
