The Dominic Ffrench Davis stable has been knocking in the winners on a regular basis this spring so the vote goes to CALL MY BLUFF, who has a good course record, ran well on his recent Newbury reappearance and won't be inconvenienced if the ground goes soft. Calling The Wind and Euchen Glen are the sorts who will need things to drop right but are more than capable of going close off their current marks if they do. Zoffee and 2021 winner Falcon Eight are others likely to be in the shake-up.
