Be Bold has won five times on Turf but never on the all-weather and he's had enough chances. Trois Bon Amis would have a chance on his second at Southwell though that was in December and he's been absent since. False Id doesn't win very often though can't go much lower in the weights but a chance is taken with JACK BLANE, the only course and distance winner in the line-up, who has gradually come down the weights after some poor form on Turf. Cupid's Arrow, 1-19 on Turf, has had just one unplaced run on the all-weather.
