Beherayn is well treated on his best form but it's a long time since he showed anything on the track and is readily passed over again here. Misamon and Nesnaas both return from a spell on the sidelines while Rudivale fell in a point-to-point on his latest start. BUSHWACKER gets the vote, therefore, having run Piment D'Estruval to five lengths over this C&D last week on similar going. Beauchamp Viking was a further four lengths back in fourth and it's difficult to see him reversing that form today.
