Racing Post verdict

Third-party

Mandarin Spirit heads this small Haydock field on a rating clearly ahead of Brighton View and Saxophonist, and this ten-furlong trip on good ground gives him a viable route to the winner's enclosure. Brighton View and Saxophonist are the chief dangers and will need watching, while Relentless Hero cannot be entirely dismissed if the principals disappoint. The confidence here is modest, but on the figures available the selection holds the edge. **Mandarin Spirit** is our selection.
