Several in with a chance of taking this staying handicap with General Ginger looking to be one of the main players after his good effort on the AW last time when he wasn’t seen to best effect and he’s now given another chance off the same mark. Seinesational has to show a little more if he’s to complete a hat-trick with Cross My Mind preferred despite her 6lb penalty for a recent win. OUTOFTHEQUESTION deserved his win here last time after some good effort and this longer trip would appear to be going to suit him and he looks sure to go close to adding to Alan King’s good Flat record. Casemates Square and Sufi are two others that enter the picture and would have a place chance.
