A competitive opener in which BBOLD, still relatively lightly-raced, may have scope for greater improvement than most on this first start for the Newland team since leaving Dan Skelton in December. He does have his fair share of weight but Charlie Hammond claims a useful 3lb and the majority of the opposition appear rather more exposed. Hopefully, the market will speak well of him. Bulls Head looks a likely threat in receipt of weight all round after a much-improved effort last time and the likes of Jelski, Just Call Me Al and the consistent Midnight Moss are all expected to deliver a decent account, with the latter viewed as best of that trio.
