In depth
Verdict
Bulletproof finished a couple of places ahead of Lyssio when the pair were sent off joint favourites at Fontwell earlier this month. Boher Lad was second at Newton Abbot last month but dropped away tamely at the same track last time and finished behind Mix N Match. Hawk Gold would have a chance at the weights but Fontwell winner LEE SIDE LADY can defy her penalty and a welter burden to score again.
