Bivouac has done all his winning on the all-weather at Southwell. Despite opposing on more favourable terms, Houston Dynimo looks to have a bit to find with JEZZA on latest running. Vic Dartnall's progressive five-year-old won four times last year including his last two starts over 1m6f here. A ready winner last time, he looks sure to stay this extra distance and is the one to beat. A winner over 1m4f here, Treacle Tart has been placed in bumpers and can make the frame back up in trip.
