Bedouin Bay may just need this but George Woolf came back to form when second at Hereford last month, though the softer ground here is a worry. Fontwell winner Dirty Bertie should handle conditions, however, while King Brex is only a pound higher than when winning at Sandown last year, the last occasion he raced at this level. KING MAK pounced late to beat Dippity Doo Dah a short-head over C&D last month and the pair meet on identical terms today. We'll take Kyle James' mount to confirm the form and follow up, though Oniz Tiptoes will be staying on when others have cried enough.
