“Sent forward early and disputed no one - moved to front and edged left into open ground after 2f - opened a big margin by 3f - lead unchallenged approaching 3f out - asked for effort with 2f left - eased left and margin shrunk inside final furlong - overtaken close home - fought back to regain command - battled it out to prevail”

Pundit corner
Racing Post · third-partyPundit pick: Spirit Catcher
Spirit Catcher heads this ten-runner Class 6 contest at Ripon over eleven furlongs on good ground rated narrowly ahead of the field, with Kitsune Power, Jam Lass and Glitter Code posing the chief threats in what is a competitive enough heat at this level. The selection's edge over that chasing trio is modest but consistent across the ratings, and on good ground over this staying trip there is enough reason to believe Spirit Catcher can translate that advantage into a winning performance. Kitsune Power is the most obvious danger, sitting four pounds behind and likely to give a good account, while Jam Lass and Glitter Code at the same rating will need to find improvement to get past our selection. Spirit Catcher is taken to see out the trip and make his superiority count.
