He's A Bully was returning from a very long absence when second at Ludlow last month and it seemed harsh to raise him a pound for that effort. He may not be much of a price and better value lies elsewhere. Frank N Fair is hard to fancy from 6lb out of the handicap while Wiesentraum is looking a light of former days but Oliver's Hill won twice at Leicester in December, though has no form over a trip this far. TURBAN’s recent form figures are off-putting but he’s plummeted down the weights and this represents a significant drop in class for the 10-year-old, who was running in Grade 2 and Grade 3 contests around this time last year.
Oliver's Hill (IRE) 5-1 (10-10) Prominent, lost place before 9th, blundered 4 out, never dangerous, 6th of 7, 26 1/4l behind Bells 'n' Banjos (11-4) at Leicester 2m 7f hcp (3) gd in Jan.
Turban (FR) 16-1 (11-0) Chased leaders, not fluent 2nd, lost place after 6th, last next, behind 10th, last of 7, 27 1/4l behind Morning Reggie (10-12) at Sandown 2m 4f hcp (3) gs in Mar.

Wiesentraum (GER) 25-1 (11-6) Chased leader, led before 7th until 11th, chased leader until 14th, chased leaders, weakened after 4 out, tailed off, 9th of 13, dist behind Onderun (10-3) at Lingfield 2m 7f hcp (3) gs in Dec.
He's A Bully (IRE) 25-1 (11-9) Jumped left, soon chasing leaders, 2nd 5th, led next, not fluent 4 out, headed and not fluent last, beaten after, no extra, 2nd of 7, 8l behind William Money (11-0) at Ludlow 3m hcp (4) gs in Feb.
