Giant Spark romped home under Simon Walker at Redcar last week when back in maiden company. He’ll find this tougher carrying a penalty and HAB REEH is preferred. He missed this race last year but won the two previous renewals was Serena Botherton was on board for his 2014 success. Fresh from wining at Ayr, Ruth Carr’s charge can land this for the third time. Ancient Cross ran well at Catterick last week and can figure while Two Turtle Doves won off a higher mark for today’s amateur when ahead of Yair Hill at Thirsk in August.
