Verdict
Bollywood makes a swift reappearance after unseating his rider over fences when favourite at Exeter on Tuesday but is proving very difficult to win with. Preference is for NORWEST, who isn't easy to catch right but undoubtedly has the ability to win a race like this off his current mark if on a going day. Crackerjac Boy is another inconsistent sort while Ostaadi has been put up 6lb after seconds and Taunton and Hereford though still looks a better bet than Be Kind, well beaten either side of her second at Taunton last month.
