A few of these have a shout but ALASKAN BULLET makes most appeal. A close-up third in a blanket finish at Ayr last week, he can race off the same mark in this lesser grade. Bunce beat a couple of these when scoring over track and trip last time but has been raised 6lb and Jofranka looks to have stronger claims on her latest fifth at the track. Captain Royale found Bunce too good earlier but posted a better effort at Ripon recently and should be in the mix with a similar effort.
