SCREAMING GEMINI can follow up a decent handicap debut by breaking his maiden in this 7f handicap for trainer Roger Varian. The selection was making his seasonal debut on that occasion and can see off his rivals here with Easy Code, a winner on the AW taken to come out best of the rest following a 5lb rise in the weights while Tailor's Row, who represents the Mark Johnston yard can take third here.
