POPERINGHE GINGER was probably unlucky not to catch favourite Etamine Du Cochet in a Huntingdon maiden last month. She is improving with experience and will be a warm order in this. Copper Gone West was second on her debut under Rules at Fakenham but failed to build on that at Warwick and may do better over fences. Would You Bypass has also won betweeen the flags but needs to improve on a well-beaten third at Sedgefield.
