Cinevator was expected to do better at Bangor last time having suffered a narrow defeat over C&D before that. The heavy ground may have been an excuse and he's not easily ruled out, but preference goes to BAMBOLEO. He shaped well enough on his debut at Doncaster last month when giving the impression today's longer trip would suit and David Pipe's charge gets the vote to open his account. Tidal Dance also made a promising start when third over track and trip last time and he makes more appeal than recent Southwell runner-up Dunlough Bay.
