BLUEBELLS BOY has managed to string several respectable efforts together recently and he appeals as the most solid proposition in a weak contest. Jumira Bridge hinted at a revival last time and has fallen to a tempting mark, whilst Arlecchino's Gift can also be involved if able to back up his C&D second.
