WEE BOGUS faded badly in the closing stages at Market Rasen last time but had finished much closer on his earlier debut at Musselburgh. Alistair Whillans’ charge gets the nod on that form given both Xin Chao and Phantom Isle were well beaten on their respective debuts. The latter is still preferred to stablemate and newcomer Bowler Bill but Perfect Aim is out of a bumper and hurdles winner and could go well on her introduction.
