Anything Jamie Osborne sends here is worth a look and Jericho, who has been gelded since a poor run at Kempton in November, should be kept on the right side. Bengaline has finished last on his two latest starts but Keith Dalgleish is going well so newcomer Windygoul Lad is worth a look. BOND STYLE appeared to enjoy the surface at Southwell last Thursday but there's no reason why he shouldn't act on Polytrack and this should prove within his capabilities.
