MENIN GATE made a winning start for Archie Watson in an amateurs’ race at Kempton a week ago when beating the re-opposing Sunshineandbubbles four lengths. Brodie Hampson keeps the winning partnership intact and he can defy a penalty on that evidence. Affair and Kaisan are partnered by leading amateurs today having both finished runner-up over 2m at Lingfield and Chepstow respectively while the unexposed Russian Rumour was second over track and trip and is preferred to Mizen Master.
