It's never easy to win a bumper with a penalty but VOLTIGGER HILL is given the vote to do just that with both Wizaller and Dusky Bob posing as the likely dangers. The selection improved form his debut outing to score on his second attempt at Lingfield last time out. He won nicely that day and although life will be tougher for him this time around he ought to give his supporters another good run for their money. Newcomer Wizaller is a well bred individual coming from a well respected yard. He will however benefit for the experience and is possibly best watched on his debut. Dusky Bob is another that fits into that category but any market support will be worth noting. Voltigger Hill has experience on his side and this looks like the perfect opportunity to strike while the iron is hot.
