Sparkle In His Eye beat Street Poet with Purple Poppy further behind when winning over 7f here. He had the measure of No Diggity when winning at Kempton before that though the latter re-opposes on better terms having subsequently won at the same track. Chelsea Banham won this race in her amateur rider days and she runs MAKAMBE, who looks to have every chance on a recent second at Southwell with Harry Main good value for his 5lb allowance. Broughtons Flare represents last year’s winning yard and One To Go is another to note.
