BINGO DES MOTTES was returning from a two-year absence at Worcester last month but still attracted market support and only found My Farmer Girl too strong. That's not great form but the gelding still has plenty of untapped potential and is fancied to open his account here. Urban Kode won over C&D before finishing third in a more competitive affair at Market Rasen and won't be far away again but Stags Leap is difficult to catch right and has been beaten twice on the Flat since finishing fourth at Cartmel and both Laybach and Momkinzain are usually worth opposing.
