Verdict
Antony Brittain has won both previous renewals and runs Mondammej, a novice winner over 6f here but behind third-placed Duke Of Firenze at Southwell last time. Raasel was a big disappointment when sent off favourite at Lingfield but BUNIANN has won three times over course and distance and was beaten only a nose here last time. Another bold bid is likely from him with Saluti looking more favourably handicapped than Dapper Man as both return from lay-offs.
