WORDISMYBOND took advantage of a slide down the weights to return a cosy winner over course and distance last week. Another bold bid is expected despite carrying 6lb extra. Bloodsweatandtears saves his best for this venue and has every chance while World Record was beaten only a length over track and trip last month and can race off the same mark. Break The Silence is usually thereabouts without winning and it could be the same old story today having placed yet again at Chelmsford last time.
