Bobsleigh is taken to land his second race over course and distance. He is effective under these conditions and is probably unlucky not to be chasing a three timer having just been denied here last week. He runs off the same mark and should prove too strong for Regal Ali, who shaped as though a step up in trip would be beneficial when staying on into 5th at Catterick last week. Taking into account Lisa Jones' claim, Regal Ali will be receiving plenty of weight and could prove troublesome. He has nothing to fear from Speedfit Blue on that running. John Dunlop's Heir To Be has looked slow to date and will need to find plenty of improvement for the step up in trip.
