Verdict

UNION SPIRIT (2) is a consistent conveyance who has hit the top-five at his past ten outings. Loves this track and trip with two wins and two placings from just five attempts and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. ARIAT (5) is two from two around this circuit and gets some weight off with the 3lbs claim. Will be rock-hard fit for this and looms as the main danger. YEAH COPY (10) has placed over this course and distance and is usually thereabouts. In the mix on best form. BELLE'S BOY (7) strips fitter second-up from the spell and is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from gate two. Include in calculations. PROPHET OF BOOM (9) bokre the maiden status when resuming and will have derived a bunch of confidence from that victory. Can go back-to-back.
