Course and distance winner Boulivar failed to cope under a penalty last time and PANGLOSS is preferred. A runner-up at Southwell on his latest start, he looks up to winning at this level. Bondi Man has a shout at the weights on his reappearance while improvement is expected from Fifteenthamendment this year. Sonairt placed at Kempton on his debut and makes more appeal than The Mouse King and The Spotlight Kid of the rest.
