BUNDLE UP can gain recompense for a recent spill and she can see off likely market leaders Benmadigan and Foxesbow in the process. John Flint's charge looked more than a tad unfortunate when capsizing at Stratford but if she can keep base over apex, she should be up to a race of this nature. Benmadigan has done little wrong over the summer. A 6lb rise for a recent win at Worcester appears fair under the circumstances. Foxesbow is off the same mark as he was campaigned off at Bangor. The yard are in form and there could be more to follow. Bennynthejets is a Market Rasen specialist and seems a genuine enough character. Lady Hillingdon was a little disappointing at Sligo though has shown ability under similar conditions. Sabre Hangrois is a previous winner on fast ground in 2007. The fact that connections have gone to the trouble of keeping him in training for so long suggests that they are hopeful that he retains a level of capability. Chip N Pin is somewhat exposed though should be fit from a couple of recent spins on the flat. Bundle Up looks best on balance.
