Midnight Ginger and Ruby Yeats look closely matched on Plumpton form. Llantara has been knocking on the door again lately but the drying ground may not help Schiaparannie and Shantung seems best at Fakenham. MISTY BLOOM fell when well supported off this mark at Ludlow last month but she races over a more suitable trip today and is well treated on the pick of her form whereas Emmpressive Lady has been raised further 4lb since failing to complete the hat-trick at Kempton and Sexy Lot has gone up 8lb for winning a novices’ handicap at Sandown. Brown Bullet beat A Little Chaos at Fontwell but is not guaranteed to confirm that form on 4lb worse terms.
