THIRSK 4.25 SOLAR SPIRIT @ 7/1 Whill,SJ.Bet365,Lads

Last time out at York on the 11th of the month I gave Inter vision a mention ...
Quoting "York 5.30 Inter Vision … Well handicapped on best. (Drawn 2 ??) "

It wasn't a selection that day and as it turned out I was right with the draw as he didn't get the best of runs but ran a promising race in the circumstances and has dropped 2lb making him eligible to run in this.
Has also dropped 13lb since the start of this season which also makes him worthy of consideration but hasn't been in the places in the last 3 Years he's encountered soft in the going description, but is so well handicapped he has to have a chance in this.

Only I feel there is one lurking on a very good mark relative to the competition.

Solar Spirit has been ultra consistent this season and this looks easier than his latest assignments where he has met some bang in form handicappers along the way.
His 1st run back off a mark of 80 when 2nd to High Standing when 2 length clear of the rest, looks better again since High Standing has been unbeaten since, winning his next start off 6lb higher before taking in the Wokingham then the Shadwell Stakes (group 3) on his final outing off a mark of 105.
Solar Spirit's last run behind Northern Dare reads better than this race too considering Northern Dare is currently joint favourite for the Class2 Stewards' Sprint Handicap at Goodwood today. That 5fl trip was on the short side as he has stamina for 6fl to 7fl.
John Quinn holds faith in the claiming jockey's ability and his 7lb claim should give him the edge over Ruth Carr's runner Red Cape from the last time they met.
