Verdict
Bunce finished just in front of Go Go Green when runner-up at Ayr on Monday. It's difficult to separate that pair again while Noodles Blue Boy returned to action with a good effort at Ripon and may also figure. Soul Brother remains out of form but FREDRICKA continued her good progress when scoring at Redcar on her reappearance. She won three times last year and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent her showing further progress and scoring again. Singeur continues to slip down the weights but his losing run stretches back to 2012 now.
