Infrequent winner (1-29); toiled at Wolverhampton and Redcar since returning from a short break; placed on three of his six starts at Musselburgh, including when twice beaten by a neck over C&D, which does provide scope for optimism.

Verdict

This won’t take much winning, and, although running as if amiss last time, CHINESE SPIRIT will go close if repeating the form of some of his previous runs, including when winning on this course in August. He’s preferred to the consistent Caracristi, with course winner Markazi of some interest as well on account of a plunging handicap mark.[Richard O’Brien]
