In depth

Verdict

Call Me Ginger is something of a course specialist and would have claims on his second in the Portland here last year. ALLIGATOR ALLEY was blamed for the stalls fiasco at Epsom earlier this month and eventually finished behind One Night Stand but he’s starting to look a very well-treated sprinter nowadays if he can get his act together. Burning Cash looked to be coming to hand again at York last time and King Of Bavaria has only gone up 3lb for winning at Windsor. Ancient Times was entered in the 3.10 Chester yesterday.
