Formscan - CALL ME GINGER arrives on a hat-trick after wins at Chester and Ascot, and he can defend his crown. Jim Goldie's sprinter is running off a 2lb higher mark than when he was promoted to first in this contest last year, at the expense of Chipstead, and that may not halt his progression. Better can be expected from Intrinsic Bond after he struggled to land a blow when sent off a well-backed favourite at York, while Stewards' Cup hero Aberama Gold commands respect with cut in the ground likely. Throw Happy Romance, Makanah and Get It into the mix too.
