Verdict

All of these debut under Rules. VINNIE SPARKLES won a point-to-point at Dunsmore and the Flat-bred may have enough speed to win a bumper. He’s joined Dan Skelton having been trained by Tom Ellis before that and the latter runs another winner between the flags in Clover All Over. Highway Hero and Supreme Johnson are other recent winners with the latter preferred to stablemate Cooler Than Me.
