Verdict
C&D winner BANG ON THE BELL had some excuses for a below-par showing last time, and he remains of interest racing off 7 lb lower than his last winning mark. El Bufalo could return to form back at 5f in first-time blinkers, while Buraback continues in good heart following a productive January.
