FOX JOURNEY (3) was in strong form this time last year including a placed third contesting the 1m6f Melrose Heritage handicap at York. Only sixth at Ripon over 1m4f last month. Likely to enjoy the step back up in trip. Serious player. SPIRIT MIXER (8) ran with credit at Goodwood last week finishing a decent fifth attempting the 2m4 1/2f Goodwood Handicap. Ticks plenty of boxes. Good jockey booking a bonus. Holds claims. STRUTH (5) placed second last year in the 1m4f Shergar Cup Classic Handicap here. Interesting.
