Formscan - Although SPIRITS BAY was held in third when falling at Cheltenham in December, the six-year-old was going to be far from disgraced if completing. Nigel Twiston-Davies' inmate has been given 70 days to get over those exertions and a similar performance should suffice. Ten Lengths Tom has to concede weight all round after justifying favouritism at Uttoxeter but will still be dangerous. Spice Heaven offered more encouragement when fifth over C&D and she can battle it out with Elusiveness for the minor spoils.
