Verdict

A case can be made for most of these but BOURBALI made an encouraging return from a lay-off when third at Kempton and can capitalise on a 2 lb lower mark. Nickelforce seems sure to go well but could have to settle for second placing once more, while Tapley and Abingworth can also have a say.
