Verdict

After an encouraging return, SPIRIT GENIE has had excuses both starts since so he could be ready to get back to winning ways as he drops in grade. In a change of headgear, he gets the vote ahead of Garden Oasis who was only narrowly denied on his latest outing.

1	Shaped well from his reduced mark at York (7f) on reappearance and hasn't been seen to best effect after starting slowly both outings since. Drops in grade here and he's interesting switched to blinkers with Jason Hart taking over in the saddle. 1st Pick 1 Spirit Genie (Ire) Jockey: Jason Hart Trainer: Jennie Candlish J: Jason Hart T: Jennie Candlish	100	-	-	-	34%

3	Landed this race 12 months ago. Without a win so far this season but placed on 4 occasions, returning to form when headed only near the line in 7-runner contest at Ripon 18 days ago. Can make another bold bid with regular cheekpieces replacing the blinkers he wore last time. 2nd Pick 3 Garden Oasis Jockey: David Allan Trainer: Tim Easterby J: David Allan T: Tim Easterby	98	-	-	-	63%

2	Capitalised on a falling mark when making a winning return at Southwell in April. Hasn't been in the same form in 3 subsequent outings, though she's edging back down in the weights again so isn't ruled out. 3rd Pick 2 Alessia Fernanda (Ire) Jockey: Zak Wheatley Trainer: Declan Carroll J: Zak Wheatley T: Declan Carroll	96	-	-	-	12%
