A far from strong contest in which course and distance winner BE BOLD is taken to defy his welter burden. The Bastiman yard is ticking along nicely at present and it was good to see the Assertive gelding return to form last time over this trip at Catterick. The soft ground probably aided his cause so forecast good to soft conditions should prove suitable despite his 6lb penalty for that latest success. It's nearly a year since Rose Eclair got her head in front but some of her recent form does bring her into contention off a very workable mark as she's 10lb lower than when gaining her last success in 2016. Tango Sky is a similar type as he hasn't won for around a couple of years but should prove competitive off a mark of just 56, whilst State Residence could be interesting now dropped to sprinting for the first time.
