FLYING SPARKLE won over 5f here on debut last year and scored over 7f at Chepstow nine days ago. Second in the lucrative Two-Year-old Trophy over this trip at Redcar in the autumn, he has a small penalty negated by Cameron Noble’s claim and is difficult to oppose. Rebel Streak is rated only 6lb lower but may not have trained on after running well in strong company last season. It took a while for the penny to drop with Rose Hip at Salisbury last month but she stayed on well in the closing stages and will know more today. Dutch Stranger was another eye-catcher here over 5f on debut but that was more than a year ago. Caledonia Earl is a newcomer worth a market check.
