Verdict
Ginger Du Val is not exactly progressive but she wasn’t winning out of turn at Newton Abbot and Ben Bromley takes off 7lb again. Cup Of Coffee was in front when falling two out at Catterick in December but hasn’t raced since. Whispering Gypsy has had wind surgery since a well-beaten second at Sedgefield in April while Blue Bikini and Luckello are jumping hurdles for the first time. MERRY MISTRESS showed ability in a couple of runs in May. She’s changed stables since and there may be more to come.
