Bonjour Steve bids for a hat-trick with another 6lb to carry but Shane Gray did win on him at Newcastle last month. Boogangoo won over 1m at Bath 10 days ago while Veeraya was second at Brighton lat month. ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE was a length-and-a-half behind Tango Sky here last week but blew the start and it would be no surprise if the course specialist reversed the form today, despite meeting on similar terms. He gets the nod as the potentially well-treated Meandmyshadow is much better over 6f. Elusive Ellen won on the Polytrack in March and isn't out of this.
