Bingo George was beaten less than a length at Brighton back in August but has failed to match that effort subsequently while Wasseem has also disappointed since placing at the latter track. It remains to be seen if ROSS RAITH ROVER can fare any better after finishing third at Kempton on his recent handicap debut but he gets the speculative vote to do so. Zabdi never looked like catching the winner when second at Chelmsford and had earlier finished behind Color Force and Home Again at Kempton. Metronomic could go well back over 7f today.
