GEMINI AHHS looks to on an upward curve and was never seriously off the bridle when winning by eight lengths over 3m2f at Plumpton last week. A penalty shouldn't halt his progress and, though likely to start at restrictive odds, he's impossible to oppose against out-of-form rivals. Lupita was placed over track and trip in December but is 9lb wrong in the weights while there has been little encouragement in the performances of Wayward Frolic and Ballymurry this season.
