Verdict

Lots with chances but BLUFFERONTHEBUS did well to overcome a pace bias when going in over C&D last time out and can defy a 2 lb rise to complete a hat-trick. Wichahpi is on a losing run but wasn't seen to best effect when sixth at Southwell recently and could emerge as the main threat from a handy-looking mark. Swiss Ace, Front Gunner and Daonethatgotaway all command plenty of respect too in this competitive handicap.

  3. SWISS ACE
