Bawaader has been thereabouts lately, including in this lowly grade at Southwell last time, but has yet to score on the all-weather in 16 attempts. BREGUET BOY’s strike-rate isn’t much better but he gets a token vote after placing in a handicap at Lingfield last time. No Diggity won one of these events here at this time last year but the rest are hard to recommend with Celtic Saoirse the least exposed.
