BUNIANN had Passional back in fifth when going close at Doncaster a week ago. He looks set to record his first victory on Turf on that evidence so gets the vote. Han Solo Berger has yet to shown any improvement for a slide down the weights while though Smokey has an impressive strike rate on the all-weather he was well beaten at Yarmouth last time.
