Orlando Spirit
ORLANDO SPIRIT has been shaping well and can make it third time lucky in handicaps. Opposite Ends is entitled to go close, assuming he's none the worse for his Clonmel mishap, with Diamond Island likely worth another chance in a wide-open race.

Produced comfortably his best effort to date when 33/1, third of 11 at Clonmel (performance can be marked up) and shaped as if still in good form when brought down (keeping on with plenty to do) there last time.

Lightly-raced maiden who went close to getting off the mark at Naas and largely backed up that effort when third of 15 here last time.

Has proved a different proposition since handicapping, shaping well from a less-than-ideal position when third of 22 at Cork latest, and he's fancied to open his account back over a slightly longer trip.DateCourseDistConditionsTypePosCork2m 1f 20yYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Hurdle3/22Thurles2m 109ySoft to HeavyHurdle2/17Naas2mYielding (Yielding to Soft in places)Hurdle17/25Down Royal2m 4fGood (Good to Firm in places)Hurdle10/13Tramore2mYieldingHurdle5/14- 15Shanroe NelsonJ: B.
