Hardy front-runner who collected by the minimum margin over 6f. This trip off his current mark may be asking too much.
Ran well to this distance on Tuesday from a poor draw. Has two wins here over a mile and two seconds at this shorter trip. Has dropped to a mark that he could exploit soon.
Won two races here last year and the handicapper has made him pay the price since. Gradually coming down the weights but may need to tumble a little further.
Impressive winner over C&D when taking advantage of a career low mark. Punished by the handicapper as a result and ran poorly next time. First time hood sparked some improvement next time but failed to have the same effect when down the field over a mile on his last start.
Significant break to overcome but did win two starts back over the minimum trip at Chelmsford. This trip probably stretches him a little and while the trainer has a fine record at the track, percentage call suggests he'll need this run.
Overcame trouble in running to score over 6f here last time and was a winner over this trip prior to that. Stable have taken the last three runnings of this and the handicapper has given them the chance of another.
Loves it around here but spiralling down the weights after some unconvincing performances. Lacks the scope and pace nowadays to be a factor. (Engaged Wednesday 2.00, Lingfield)
Made all to land a maiden over C&D in December. Found little when headed next time and found 6f too sharp most recently. Has more going for him today but others look more likely.
Won a Wolverhampton maiden for Charles Hills in 2015. Likely to need this first run after missing the whole of last season.
Showed little for Sir Michael Stoute and tailed off at big odds on both starts for new connections.
Forecasts
Bounty Pursuit (15/8), Boots And Spurs (7/2), Macho Mac (4/1), Napoleon Solo (8/1), Greyfriarschorista (11/1), Dark Profit (16/1), Swilly Sunset (20/1), Harwoods Star (25/1), Elusivity (33/1), Hammer Gun (100/1)
There are no doubts about the wellbeing of BOUNTY PURSUIT who is on a hat-trick after swooping late to pick up his last two races. He can add to his yard's recent monopoly of this race. Boots and Spurs has signalled he is ready to win soon and he looks more of a threat than the enigmatic Macho Mac.
