Red All Star went close over C&D last month and should be in the mix again while Times In Anatefka landed a touch with a rapid double at Wolverhampton recently and must be respected on the back of that. Many of these are out of form, having questions of one form or another to answer and so a tentative vote goes the way of MR BOUNTY. He hasn't run here for almost two years but was running some decent races on turf last summer. Off since September, he's on a lowly mark and should be able to get involved. Strategic Heights was in fine fettle last month around here and probably rates as the most likely scorer though he will priced accordingly.
