Verdict
Call Me Ginger seeks a quick double having pounced late to land the spoils at Chester a week ago. Spring Bloom was second at Sandown last Saturday while Above won at Newmarket two weeks ago when having a first run for a new yard. Existent is talented but on a long losing run and often spoils his chance by starting slowly as was the case here four weeks ago. Navello won the Epsom Dash in June with the going too testing at Goodwood subsequently. Bedford Flyer hinted at a return to form when second at Doncaster but we’ll take a chance on SWAYZE, who is back on a winning mark and only weakened close home in a similar contest at Newcastle nine days ago.
