Bohemian Spirit, Cloudless Dawn and Bonechester Bridge look the three to concentrate on with the confident vote going to Bohemian Spirit. The selection won well last time out when beating Winds Supreme and although having a penalty for that win he still looks ahead of the handicapper compares to some of his rivals. Cloudless Dawn rates the main danger on her latest third behind Money Trix especially as this drop in trip and faster ground looks in her favour, she is sure to run her race but looks handicapped to the hilt. Bonechester Bridge is another worthy of respect as she finished in mid-division in a better race behind Harringay last time out. This looks easier and she should be noted in the market. Of the remainder Acceleration won well last time out when beating Fearless Foursome but this looks tougher and he will need to improve again to score and with this in mind for the winner we return to Bohemian Spirit.
