Senator Bong opened his account at Nottingham and could figure on his handicap bow if handling the going while Broughtons Charm got off the mark in a Polytrack maiden a fortnight ago and William Buick's booking takes the eye. Harrogate Fair scored over the minimum trip in heavy ground at Yarmouth last time but faces tougher competition in this and DUMBARTON ROCK makes more appeal. He went close to catching Evoke over 6f at the same Yarmouth meeting and first-time blinkers may give him the edge to go one better in this.
