Verdict
Chance was still beaten 13 lengths when second at Southwell last month but has only run three times and makes his handicap debut. Brother Bentley appears to have two ways of running but Bug Boy is a possible improver in first-time headgear and any market support for Pegasus Bridge should be noted. However, he was well behind JUNGLE JUICE at Wolverhampton last summer and Mick Channon’s filly can probably be forgiven her two runs this year when the stable was out of sorts. Miss Gargar looks the pick of the remainder.
