Tasty Ginger was well supported at Kempton last time but came up just short when beaten on the nod. He’ll be looking for compensation here but PAR THREE may prove too good. The latter won over a shorter trip at the track before going close again at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and has won off a higher mark over course and distance in the past. Le Tissier had been thereabouts before a poor effort at Kempton while Dream Serenade failed to cope off a higher mark last time having won at Wolverhampton earlier.
