How Bizarre’s last victory came over this course and distance off a 13lb higher mark and Danny Tudhope is a positive jockey booking. Rain Cap beat Clotherholme here last August but the runner-up is now 8lb better off. JEMS BOND is only a pound worse off than when getting the better of Aquamas at Newcastle last month and should confirm that form even though he is still to win on this surface. Hachert was only beaten a short-head back over 7f at Southwell but is only a plater.
