Verdict
The four-year-old CALLTHEBARMAN has very little to recommend him apart from the fact he's trained by Gavin Cromwell and ridden by Rachael Blackmore. This is such a poor contest that only marginal improvement could see him in the shake-up. Lisa O'Neill, who was due to ride Mossback at Cheltenham yesterday, is on board Olly Murphy's Bisoubisou, a winner over 2m4f at Fakenham before finding 3m too far at Taunton. Chilli Romance is still a maiden after 13 starts though hasn't been beaten far in her two most recent runs while The Blue Bomber is another long-time maiden. Gin And Tonic won at Fakenham in December and wouldn't need much more here.
