Verdict

Call Me Sir is bidding to follow up last week's C&D victory under a penalty and will handle today's quicker ground. He had Jewellery, who was engeged at Fontwell yesterday, behind in a previous run over track and trip. Forever My Friend could be an interesting each-way bet with Peter Bowen's string in fine form while Cnoc Bui and Haling Park showed enough last time to suggest they can get involved. Dazzling Rita appears to have lost her way, however, and Millie O'Brien has proved disappointing. The handicapper has taken no chances with HOGAN'S BRIDGE but Jonjo O'Neill's gelding showed much-improved form at Market Rasen last month and a repeat of that effort may well suffice here.
