Music Society beat Highly Sprung a length-and-a-quarter in this 12 months ago and races off the same mark but the runner-up has 7lb more to carry. Roundhay Park hasn’t done a lot wrong since beating Medicine Jack at York in July and looks a threat to all. Stablemate Abstemious is another for the shortlist as he was only half-a-length behind the in-form Alben Spirit at York 12 days ago and is 4lb better off with the winner carrying a penalty. CALL ME GINGER usually attracts market support and can record a second career victory if reproducing the form of last week’s second at Doncaster when Flying Pursuit was behind. Captain Jameson and Never In Paris may be the pick of the remainder at the weights.
