Bobo Mac only won a conditionals’ race here last month and Lynwood Gold won a stronger contest at Lingfield when West To The Bridge was unplaced. Further rain would suit Carlisle runner-up Flight Deck while Bells Of Peterboro easily beat Kateson in this last year and is only 3lb higher but the lack of a recent run is usually no barrier to success for a Venetia Williams’ runner and GREEN BOOK developed into a decent stayer last season. He’s had wind surgery since last seen and is preferred to the Paul Nicholls pair Flemenstide, beaten by Just A Dime at Exeter in March, and Sabrina.
