BE BOLD is proving hard to win with but has been competing in better company of late - he should go close in this grade. Spring Loaded is progressing well and has every chance on September's victory over course and distance while Lyfka was badly hampered last time but has been raised a further 7lb for her earlier win at Wolverhampton. Winning Hunter finished closer in heavy going at Windsor last time but is upped in class along with Captain Marmalade.
