Onenightinlisbon can make experience count over Hurricane Spirit and Teasing. Having had 12 career starts already, Onenightinlisbon should by now know what the game is about, and indeed has already won twice on Turf this summer. Since switching to the all-weather, Karl Burke's youngster has gone close to registering another victory, having finished runner-up on each of her last two outings, most recently in nursery company here 17-days ago. She was very unlucky that day, having to be snatched up when trying to rally after being headed, and was deservedly promoted to second by the stewards. We shall take her to crack out and make all this time, with Hurricane Spirit best of the rest. John Best's charge opened his account here last time, and the form of his York debut behind Wi Dud has worked out well, so with this step up in trip not a problem on breeding, he looks a danger. Teasing scraped home at Wolverhampton and needs to improve, while the market will perhaps reveal if Corlough Mountain is ready. Overall, we prefer the claims of Onenightinlisbon.
