Is It Off is one of the least exposed and finished runner-up at Chepstow last month but Global Wonder managed to find one too good for the fifth time in six outings over 1m2f at Chelmsford and patience has run out with him. Bombshell Bay was placed over 7f recently but DECORATION OF WAR scored by two lengths at Wolverhampton last week and is taken to defy a rise in the weights. Calling Rio and Cristal Pallas Cat slide further down the handicap though Saguaro is preferred now handicapping for the first time.
