Gm Hopkins won the Silver Cambridgeshire at Newmarket in September when beating Munaaser a couple of lengths. He should go well after a pipe-opener at Doncaster but another chance goes to SPARK PLUG. Brian Meehan's charge found only Ayaar too good in the Spring Mile over track and trip last month and can confirm running with Loving Spirit, Red Avenger, Boom Or Bust and Highland Colori in the process of landing this. Pastoral Player finished ahead of Red Refraction when runner-up at Goodwood a fortnight ago and can figure while Apostle and Extremity should improve for their recent outings in the same race at Haydock.
