Formscan - Spirit Catcher hasn't finished outside the top two in each of his last three starts, most recently over an extended 1m4f at Musselburgh, and he shouldn't have any issues with this drop in trip. Even so, MWAFAQ looks the way to go. The son of Mehmas finished three lengths clear of the third when hitting the woodwork in this grade at Ayr last month and could go one better. Hunterian completes the shortlist.
