Bavardages won nicely at Chelmsford when last in action but has been raised 10lb bidding for a hat-trick and IDOAPOLOGISE is preferred. James Bethell’s charge is also looking to land a treble having scored over 7f here and narrowly beating Guipure in the process. The latter boosted that form by subsequently winning at Pontefract but re-opposes the selection on worse terms today while Shoot To Win opened his account in a maiden at Southwell in March and makes more appeal then fellow handicap debutants Fraternity, Time Voyage and Bottom Bay.
