BONOMAN didn't have an unduly hard race at Ffos Las on Sunday when winning by six lengths. Today's longer trip shouldn't be no problem and Evan Williams' charge can shrug off a penalty and can go in again. This looks less competitive than the race Captain Tidds finished fourth in at Newton Abbot last time and he can figure along with Pocket Aces, fifth on his return to action at Plumpton last month. The remaining pair are harder to fancy on their recent form.
