Bourne ended along losing run in style at Cartmel but the grey doesn't appeal as the type to follow up quickly under a penalty. Who Am I is also penalised for a victory at Worcester while Polo Springs has been had to train over the last couple of years, though made a promising reappearance at Stratford. COURT BALOO, trained in the Scottish Borders, was in good form around here in the spring and it maybe worth taking a chance on his fitness after a break. More Madness is preferred to Arcamante and Parc Des Princes of the remainder.
