BIVOUAC looks to have a good chance of following up Sunday's win in similar company. Today's slightly shorter trip should be no problem and Alan Swinbank's yard is in fine form at present. West End Lad drops in class but has done most of his winning over a mile including both of this season's victories at Leicester, while Hits Only Jude is another with something to prove over today's distance having failed to figure over track and trip on Friday. The remainder look up against it on today's terms with Kalahaag possibly the best of them.
