Wynford stays well but has been beaten off this mark the last twice and finished behind Ernesto at Pontefract earlier. The latter may have sulked when unable to lead at Ascot last time but should get his own way out in front here. CALL MY BLUFF is only a pound higher than when third in the Chester Cup consolation earlier this month and is preferred to the returning Zinc White and Military Two Step, who has finished last in his last two starts.
