A spell hunting seems to have taught Whin Park a few lessons and he was better back under Rules at Huntingdon in May. Richard Johnson takes over the reins from an amateur but he has to give 9lb to PEMBROKE HOUSE including Richard Patrick’s claim. The latter is the senior runner in this but he found the step up in trip no problem over this course and distance in May and is only 3lb higher. Only Gorgeous and Sutter's Mill probably have a bit to prove at present with Mister Mister preferred to Midnight Gem of the others.
