Verdict
BOMB SQUAD was only beaten a short-head into second over C&D last week and the eight-year-old merits the utmost respect off the same mark on this occasion. Mighty Ruler could not follow up his Lingfield success when fourth at the same venue last time but he should not be discounted. Others who make the shortlist are Amaysmont, Believe In Lies and Pessoa.
Expert View Verdict
Bomb Squad is in form and holds obvious claims once more, but stall 11 over this trip is far from ideal given they run straight into a bend, and so he's taken on with INVINCIBLE MELODY, who is still a maiden but promises to be suited by the step back up to 7f. He's handily drawn in stall 4 and is on his lowest mark yet. Pessoa, in contrast, is dropping in trip, something that should suit given he tends to be a little keen over further.
