Verdict
BONJOUR STEVE won this in 2015 though was behind Fantasy Justifier in last year’s renewal on soft ground. The latter has his first start since October but Richard Price’s charge arrives on the back of a win at Southwell and should go close again. Indian Affair was narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton last time but Wink Oliver has done all his winning over 7f or further and was placed over a mile at Brighton recently. Spirit Of Rosanna ended last year in good form but would prefer some cut in the ground.
