BINGO D'OLIVATE won in a hack canter at Carlisle a fortnight ago but unfortunately for his connections and title-chasing rider Brian Hughes was disqualified post-race (weighed in 5lb light). With a strong preference for testing conditions (soft to heavy) and turned out swiftly with a token weights rise (4lb), he really ought to make amends in an essentially moderate contest. The veteran Ted Veale and the eased-in-grade Ashjan make most appeal for the minor honours.
