THE FLYING GINGER (NAP) is the only course and distance winner in the line-up having scored in a Class 2 handicap on soft ground in October when Northern Express, who ran well here last week, was over five lengths behind. Her later defeats have been at Listed level and this is a big drop in class. Aquaman landed a novices' contest at Catterick on fast going and didn't get the run of the race at Chester while Blu Boy has completed a double in impressive fashion, though has gone up 11lb as a consequence. Maison De York is progressing nicely and has only been raised 3lb for his victory at Redcar but Yorkshire Lady is up 7lb for scoring at Ripon.
