Verdict

Humble Spark has four lengths to find with Ludo's Landing on their run together here at the end of May. The latter is the most experienced of these and will be hoping to make it third-time lucky but Dream For Gold showed promise at Nottingham and jockey bookings suggest he’s preferred to Indrapura Star. Karl Burke’s Marshman is by Harry Angel so shouldn’t be short of speed but we’ll take a chance on ROARING RALPH. A son of Roaring Lion, his half-sister Sandrine won Group 2 and Group 3 races last year as a juvenile.
