As complex a sprint handicap as you are likely to find but BAPAK BANGSAWAN can see his rivals off from the gate. The four-year-old has been frustrating in the extreme, but he had the misfortune of running up against a well-handicapped sort at Wolverhampton on his most recent start and Kieren Fallon's stronger handling could make the difference. Jamesbo's Girl is a previous course and distance winner although that was obtained some time ago. Phil Kirby attempts to restart her career off a mark some 12lb lower mark than where she finished last season. Sunraider was far from disgraced at Hamilton on his most recent start while Willbeme steps back up to 6f having gone close over the minimum trip at Ripon. Bosham makes his debut for Mick Easterby and the market should give a fair idea of what to anticipate. Pastureyes put up a career best last time and she seems sure to give a favourable account off the same mark.
