6/4

Landed a gamble when making winning return in 12f novice here last month. Just fifth of 11 on handicap debut at Doncaster (11.9f) next time but could do better up in trip back on this surface.

Fair Flat performer who has had a hurdles campaign. Not on a bad mark back in this sphere and interesting if she takes to the surface.

CALL MY BLUFF found only the red-hot Main Fact too good when bidding for a 4-timer when last seen. A revelation upped to staying trips, he could have even more to offer this year and can make a successful return if handling the surface. Similar comments apply to Eagle's Foot, seeking a hat-trick after wins over 2m at Newcastle. He looks a big player. Rayna's World is also interesting.
