LOOKS LIKE SLIM has a penalty for his comfortable win at Plumpton 10 days ago but should have little problem posting a follow up giving weight to three ordinary rivals. The pick of the opposition may be Love Love Me Do, who has experience in bumpers, as Sponge and Jasper Cliff were very modest platers on the Flat and the latter hasn't run for almost two years.
