Flowing Clarets will be all the better for a reappearance run and is interesting in receipt of weight all round but BOUNTY PURSUIT makes fractionally greater appeal. He's a pretty consistent level operator at this level and recent performances have indicated that this drop back to 6f could be the way to go. He has struck up a good rapport with Mitch Goodwin and receives the nod. The consistency of Tigerwolf should once again see the gelding in the shake-up under the talented apprentice Jason Watson, whilst cases can be made for each of the remaining quartet, although Titus Secret may need the run after a considerable absence of over 320 days. However, he is definitely the one to note in the market on this return to action.
