Storey Hill has been well beaten since scoring over 7f here and Bond Artist is finding life tough off his current mark. The veteran Benandonner landed a lowly handicap here last time and is upped in class off a higher mark today. WISHFORMORE bids for a hat-trick after landing a double at Kempton and an apprentice's allowance negates most of a 6lb penalty. Ian William's charge gets the nod to go in again given the remainder are hard to fancy on what little they've shown so far.
