BAHAMIAN BIRD has only been raised 4lb for a comfortable victory over Tadaawol, who runs in the first division, at Catterick so looks the one to be on. Chris Wall has been among the winners and Luang Prabang can make sufficient progress from her victory at Wolverhampton to get involved. Dark Forest has never won on Turf and is becoming a Southwell specialist while Gulland Rock is much more at home on the all-weather these days which is why he's 5lb lower on Turf. Mango Chutney won a couple of minor handicaps last summer but looks a few pounds high.
