Spirit Genie holds a clear edge over this field on ratings, sitting eight pounds clear of the next-best Garden Oasis, and the step up to eight furlongs at Pontefract looks an opportunity to confirm that superiority. Garden Oasis and Narmar represent the most credible threats, with Alessia Fernanda also capable of making her presence felt if conditions suit. Confidence is modest given the nature of the opposition and the class of contest, but the ratings gap is hard to dismiss. **Spirit Genie** is our selection.
