Bunce only beat Fredricka by a nose over track and trip three weeks ago and that pair are closely matched with Margrets Gift on earlier running. The latter beat Alaskan Wing at Ayr last month while Rusty Rocket's 5lb rise for winning at Catterick recently is negated by an apprentice's allowance. Economic Crisis has yet to win away from Hamilton and is penalised for his latest victory there but BOWSON FRED (NAP) has leading claims. He went close at York a week ago and can go one better in this lower grade with Nathan Evans' claim helping his cause.
