Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Spirit Mixer
Last year's winner of this race, Spirit Mixer returns from a sound display in Listed company abroad — beaten just 3 lengths — and is well suited to 16f on any going; the 6lb weight rise from when he landed it is a minor concern. Moon Over Miami rates the chief threat, consistent and back at a trip that suits, though he too needs to find improvement on his last winning mark. Kirchner catches the eye on French form having appeared to need a stiffer test last time, and Ride The Thunder has run with consistency in defeat throughout. Spirit Mixer is our selection.
